About Odie

Meet Odie, a gentle soul with an abundance of love to share. Not every puppy is a bundle of energy, and Odie perfectly illustrates that some of the sweetest dogs are the quieter ones. This handsome 10-month-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix weighs 44 pounds and boasts a calm demeanor alongside an easygoing personality. Odie enjoys playing with his canine friends, but he’s equally content to relax on the couch and spend quality time with his humans. He surprisingly lacks the wild energy typically associated with young herding breeds. He’s wonderful with other dogs, sweet yet submissive, intelligent, and responsive to training. Odie is making great strides in house training and thrives on companionship and affection. Ideal for a home with another friendly, confident dog, Odie takes comfort in having a furry companion to follow. He is still learning how to handle time alone, so a patient family will help guide him through this. Odie seeks a family to love, a furry friend to share adventures with, and a cozy spot to call his own. He is currently being fostered in Joliet, IL. Adoption fee is sponsored, so he's ready for his forever home without any cost. Click apply to start the adoption process.
