Oshie's Story

Meet Oshie - Available for Foster-to-Adopt <br/><br/>Oshie is an 8-year-old black tri Australian Shepherd with a nub tail, weighing about 60 pounds. He's a loyal, affectionate companion who loves being with his people and is happiest when included in everyday activities.<br/><br/>Don't let his age fool you—Oshie is still an active dog who enjoys running, exploring, and outdoor adventures. While he'll chase a ball, he's usually more interested in running around and having fun than playing fetch.<br/><br/>Oshie gets along well with both dogs and cats. He lived peacefully with a cat for six years and has successfully lived with other dogs throughout his life. He tends to mind his own business and does well in multi-pet households.<br/><br/>He can be a little reserved when meeting new people, but once he warms up, he's incredibly affectionate. Oshie loves belly rubs, cuddling, and being close to his family. As a true Velcro Aussie, he would thrive in a home where someone is around much of the time.<br/><br/>Oshie is crate trained, travels well in the car, knows basic commands, and is food motivated. He would do best in a relatively calm home, as large, loud crowds can make him uncomfortable.<br/><br/>Oshie is available through our Foster-to-Adopt (FTA) program and is looking for a family that will appreciate his loving personality, adventurous spirit, and unwavering loyalty.<br/><br/>If you’re an approved ARMA adopter reach out to the volunteer with whom you’ve been working. If you’d like to be approved to adopt from ARMA, our application is on our website www.aussierescueofthemidatlantic.org
