Located in Atlanta, GA Meet Dusty, one of Andie’s adorable “Three Amigos”! Dusty is an 8-week-old mixed-breed puppy whose mama, Andie, is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. This sweet, healthy little boy has been growing alongside his brothers, Lucky and Ned, and is now ready to find a family of his own! At this age, everything is a learning opportunity. Dusty needs a patient family ready to guide him through potty training, crate training, puppy chewing, and learning how to settle. Consistent routines, age-appropriate play, and plenty of sleep will help him grow into a confident companion. Your family will have support every step of the way! Dusty is part of the Ozzie Albies Foundation’s Best Chance Program, which includes three required training sessions and ongoing guidance. Our trainers will help you establish crate training, structured feeding, place work, and good habits from the beginning. We’re looking for a committed adopter who will attend the training sessions, follow our trainers’ guidance, and continue practicing at home. You’ll also receive free access to the Mirror Image Extended Pack, a virtual training community where you can ask questions, receive trainer support, and connect with other dog owners. Dusty’s adoption fee is waived, and the foundation will cover his neuter surgery when he is old enough and cleared by our veterinarian. Puppyhood takes time and commitment, and Dusty deserves a family ready to support him through every stage of life. If that sounds like you, complete the adoption application above!

PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES – ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY – WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Pam is a 1-year-old, 35-pound sweetheart who is looking for her forever family. Pam’s journey began when her mama, a small Pinscher mix, was rescued while pregnant. After giving birth, Pam was fortunate enough to stay with her mama until she was 10 weeks old, giving her a wonderful start in life. She was adopted as a puppy and spent the last year with her family. Unfortunately, due to significant life changes beyond anyone’s control, they made the heartbreaking decision to return her to rescue so she could find the stability and attention she deserves. Pam is healthy, happy, incredibly smart, and absolutely loves people. She is a true social butterfly who thrives when she has friends by her side. Whether she’s meeting new people, playing with other dogs, or simply hanging out with her family, Pam is always ready to be part of the action. She’s also very intelligent and eager to learn. Pam picks up on new things quickly and loves having a job to do. When she’s not showing off her smarts, you’ll find her soaking up the sunshine, relaxing beside her favorite people, or cuddling up after a day of fun. At just one year old, Pam is still very much a young dog. Like all puppies and adolescents, she’s continuing to learn and mature. Dogs don’t fully mature until around two years of age, so she’ll do best with a family that understands the commitment, patience, and consistency that come with raising a young dog. The good news? You won’t be doing it alone. Why Adopt Pam Through Our Best Chance Program? We are committed to helping both dogs and adopters succeed. • Training sessions through our trusted partners • Ongoing support from our rescue team whenever questions come up • Updated vaccines and preventative care • Spay/neuter included through one of our partner veterinarians • Lifetime commitment, if life ever changes, all of our dogs always have a place to come back to Our goal is not just to find Pam a home. Our goal is to find her the right home, the one where she’ll be loved, understood, and cherished for the rest of her life. Pam has already experienced one family saying goodbye through no fault of her own. We would love nothing more than to see her find her forever family once and for all. If you’re serious about adding a wonderful companion to your family and are ready for the commitment of a young dog, Pam may be the perfect match for you. Apply today and give Pam the forever home she deserves.

PLEASE COMPLETE THE ADOPTION APPLICATION FIRST. WE DO NOT RESPOND TO ONLINE INQUIRIES – ONLY ADOPTION APPLICANTS. ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY – WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Madi Peeps and her sister, Stevi Peeps, were found alone in the woods over Easter weekend, no microchip, no one searching for them, and clearly in distress. A rescue partner stepped in quickly, got them to the vet, and gave them the care they needed. At just 8 weeks old, they were thankfully healthy and ready for a second chance. Madi is the quieter, more sensitive of the two. She is shy and takes time to feel safe, but she has a very gentle, observant personality. She is the type of puppy who watches first, processes her environment, and then slowly builds trust. Once she starts to feel comfortable, her sweet nature really begins to show. She thrives around other dogs and gains a lot of confidence from them. A home with a calm, well-balanced dog will help her continue to come out of her shell and adjust more quickly. She is not a bold, outgoing puppy right away, she will need patience, structure, and consistency from her adopter. We are not exactly sure of her breed mix, but based on her size and features, we estimate she will be a medium-sized dog, likely around 40–50 lbs fully grown. Madi will do best in a home that understands how to properly guide a timid puppy, giving her clear structure, slow introductions, and the time she needs to build confidence. With the right environment, she has strong potential to become a very loyal and deeply bonded companion. Why Adopt From Us? • Best Chance Program: includes a structured transition period with training sessions through our trusted partners to set everyone up for success • Adoption Fee Covers: spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccines, and a month of flea & heartworm prevention • Lifetime Support: we’re always here for you and your dog for life Madi Peeps may not be the most outgoing at first, but she is the kind of dog who will form a deep connection with her person. She just needs someone willing to give her the time and guidance to grow into her confidence. If you are ready to help a shy puppy become her best self, apply today.

ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Meet Artemis, aka Artie! Artie is a little guy with a big personality. We rescued him from the Cobb County shelter, and he’s been learning ever since he joined our Best Chance Program. He’s smart, picks up new skills quickly, and can be a sweetheart when he comes to you for affection. He generally does well with people, currently lives with other dogs in his foster home, and attends training day camps with our partners at Mirror Image K9. Artie is a great dog who has made real progress. He has a bite history and needs an adult-only home. He can be cuddly on his own terms, and he needs people who will respect his space, learn to read his body language, and follow the guidance his trainers provide. Training is at the heart of our Best Chance Program. At the Ozzie Albies Foundation, we want families to understand their dogs and feel equipped to support them at home. Artie goes home with a training package that the Foundation pays for, including required sessions with Mirror Image K9. His adopters will work directly with the trainers to learn what Artie already knows, how to handle him safely, and how to keep building on his progress in everyday life. Please apply only if you’re ready to attend the training sessions, use the resources we provide, and practice consistently at home. If you’re excited to learn alongside a smart little dog with a lot of character, we’d love for you to meet Artie.

ADOPTION LINK: https://airtable.com/appJMHBItTE2RWdqD/shrsP6tKWM2HcFZaA GEORGIA ADOPTIONS ONLY – WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT OF STATE. Located in Atlanta, GA Meet Andie, a sweet mama ready for her own next chapter! Andie is a sweet, smart Australian Cattle Dog mix who has been busy raising her 3 puppies, Lucky, Dusty, and Ned. Now that her little “Three Amigos” are ready for their next chapter, it’s Andie’s turn to receive some extra love and care. Her biggest need right now is a committed foster home where she can settle in and complete heartworm treatment. She needs a quiet, calm environment with plenty of rest and strictly limited activity, following our veterinarian’s instructions. Heartworms are spread through infected mosquitoes, they are not passed directly from one dog to another through playing, sharing bowls, or living together. Treatment is generally very successful, particularly in dogs with mild disease, and keeping Andie calm throughout her recovery is essential. (heartwormsociety.org) The Ozzie Albies Foundation will cover her entire heartworm treatment. We will also cover her spay surgery once she has recovered and our veterinarian confirms she is ready. Her foster family will receive food, supplies, veterinary care, and guidance throughout the process, all at no cost. Andie already has someone interested in adopting her, and we are continuing to accept adoption applications while we work toward finding her the right match. Through our Best Chance Program, her future family will receive three required training sessions and ongoing support. Our trainers help families build a consistent routine through crate training, structured walks, feeding routines, and place work, with activities adjusted to Andie’s medical needs. The goal is to help her settle comfortably and give her family the tools to support her long term. This loving mama has cared for her babies. Now she needs a peaceful place to land and someone committed to caring for her. To foster or adopt Andie, visit www.ozziefoundation.org and complete an application. Her adoption fee is waived.
