This is Owen Wilson (no relation to the actor but he does share that “WOW” factor). Owen is extremely outgoing; strangers are usually just friends he hasn’t met yet! He loves being around his people and is extremely affectionate and playful but needs a loving home without young children. While Owen is generally fine with older kids, the loudness and unpredictable movement of young children can sometimes make him anxious, and he can have some fear-based reactivity. Owen does great with people and other dogs. Cats are unknown. Owen is silly and loves to roll in the grass and walks on leash, but gets scared of cars on busy streets, so it’s best to keep it in a neighborhood or park. Despite just turning 9 this May, Owen has great energy and plenty of love left to give. After getting some zoomies out of his system running around in the yard, he loves to snuggle up on the couch with his favorite people. Owen is a 9-year-old Australian Cattle Dog Mix. He was rescued from the Milwaukee Humane Society when he was 6 months old and has known nothing but love since. His previous owners welcomed a young child, and Owen just couldn’t get comfortable with the addition and new family dynamic. Owen thrives as an only dog in the house where he can get showered with attention but has also lived great as part of a pack with no issues. Owen is medium-sized and weighs 47lbs. He is neutered, microchipped, house broken, and fully up to date on vaccines. While he is crate-trained, he prefers a couch or bed if he can get away with it. Owen is a great car passenger, routinely making the drive between Milwaukee and Peoria looking out the window and taking naps. He had his yearly check-up on December 8th and has no health concerns. Whatever love or attention you give Owen, he will give it back tenfold! Owen is an amazing dog and deserves a home where he can love and be loved without feeling anxious around young children. If you cannot adopt, please share Owen’s post. Your share may be what reaches Owen’s new family.
