Meet Lillie: Brave, Cuddly, And Quiet!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

ODHS adoption events are typically at 3602 Lafayette Blvd, Wednesdays 5-7pm, Saturdays 12-4pm, and Sundays 11am-1pm. Please check our Facebook...
