Ozzie (& Jade) - Mixed Breed and Australian Shepherd Dog for Adoption in Marengo, Illinois

Bonded Pair: Jade & Ozzie — Senior Sweethearts Seeking a Forever Home Together

Jade and Ozzie’s world changed overnight when their owner passed away.
They’re grieving, adjusting, and relying on each other to feel safe. They deserve a home that understands senior dogs, values their gentle presence, and wants to give them comfort and stability for the rest of their lives

Jade — 14 Years Old, Blonde, Gentle, Playful
Jade is a 14-year-old blonde sweetheart with a soft, sunny personality. She may be a senior, but she still has a playful spark and doesn’t seem to realize she’s an older girl. Jade loves sleeping next to her foster dad, enjoys gentle affection, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.

She’s been leaning on Ozzie for comfort. He’s her anchor, her confidence, and her emotional support.

Ozzie — 11 Years Old, Black & White, Loyal, Curious
Ozzie is an 11-year-old gentleman with a steady, affectionate personality. He has more energy than you’d expect — he’s curious, enjoys exploring, and still loves going places with his people. He’s friendly, gentle, easy to love and while he’s adjusting more easily than Jade, he stays close to her and gives her the reassurance she needs.

They don’t need much: A calm home, soft places to sleep, kind people and each other

The Australian Shepherd is a highly intelligent and energetic herding dog known for its loyalty and work ethic. Originating in the United States, despite its name, this breed is prized for its agility, trainability, and versatility in various dog sports and activities. Australian Shepherds have a distinctive medium length coat that comes in different colors, often with unique merle patterns. With proper training, socialization, and exercise, these dogs make excellent companions for active families and individuals seeking a devoted and playful four legged friend.

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.
