Pet of the Week

Hi, I’m Ollie, a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd mix with brains to spare. I am looking for a home that will give me a job to keep my brain and body occupied. I would do best as your one and only pup in an adult-only home, and I might need a little time to warm up to you, but once I do, I’m all in. I’m house-trained and crate-trained — plus I already know basic commands, and I’m a quick learner, so training new tricks should be a breeze. I’ve got moderate to high energy and I absolutely love water and car rides. Meet me seven days a week from noon to 5 p.m. at the Good Shepherd Humane Society Adoption Center, 6486 Highway 62 West, or call 479-253-9188.

Ollie is this week's Pet of the Week from the Good Shepherd Humane Society.
