Meet Artemis, aka Artie!

Artie is a little guy with a big personality. We rescued him from the Cobb County shelter, and he’s been learning ever since he joined our Best Chance Program. He’s smart, picks up new skills quickly, and can be a sweetheart when he comes to you for affection. He generally does well with people, currently lives with other dogs in his foster home, and attends training day camps with our partners at Mirror Image K9.

Artie is a great dog who has made real progress. He has a bite history and needs an adult-only home. He can be cuddly on his own terms, and he needs people who will respect his space, learn to read his body language, and follow the guidance his trainers provide.

Training is at the heart of our Best Chance Program. At the Ozzie Albies Foundation, we want families to understand their dogs and feel equipped to support them at home. Artie goes home with a training package that the Foundation pays for, including required sessions with Mirror Image K9. His adopters will work directly with the trainers to learn what Artie already knows, how to handle him safely, and how to keep building on his progress in everyday life.

Please apply only if you’re ready to attend the training sessions, use the resources we provide, and practice consistently at home. If you’re excited to learn alongside a smart little dog with a lot of character, we’d love for you to meet Artie.
