Odie is a cute 4-1/2 year old male Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler who was brought to HSOV on January 3, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him in the Walmart Parking Lot on Pike Street in Marietta Ohio.
This little sweetheart has a white short smooth coat with tan/red ticking, a long tail, and an adorable face with tan shading around his hopeful dark brown eyes, a slender muzzle, and short tan 'folded-over' ears.
Odie has a friendly personality. He was understandably a bit nervous when he was found wandering around a crowded parking lot and then found himself in a large floor crate in an unfamiliar place with people that he didn't yet realize were his new best friends (our HSOV shelter staff and kennel techs).
Odie weighs 30 lbs and has already been neutered.
We took preliminary photos of Odie in his floor crate and took outdoor photos of him on January 12th when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver spent time with him that afternoon. Odie looked to Emily for loving attention and guidance/support. He loved being carried in Emily's arms like a baby.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Odie was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly nobody called or came looking for this little guy.
