Meet Odie! 🌟 This delightful 3-year-old Wirehaired Dachshund mix—possibly with a sprinkle of Bassett Hound magic—has a heartwarming personality that makes him a truly special companion. 😍 A tad shy and a lot gentle, he’s the kind of dog that takes his time warming up to people. Can you blame him for being cautious? After all, trust is earned, and Odie is looking for a safe space to do just that! 🏡 Surrendered by his previous owner, Odie is still finding his footing in this big world, but he’s got the cutest little quirks! You might notice he’s a bit of a ‘lowrider’—those adorable short legs just make him all the more charming! 🚗 He does great with calm dogs who can show him the ropes, as Odie prefers to observe before he leaps into play. His voice can get a bit expressive if he feels lonely; after all, his Bassett Hound DNA likes to keep things lively when he’s missing companionship! 🎶 In his current foster home, Odie is learning to enjoy life with new toys and is even mastering leash walks while keeping his car rides as cozy as a lap blanket. However, he is not a fan of being left alone, so having a buddy to follow around—or a human present more often than not—would truly help him thrive. 👣 This sweet boy also has some vision concerns, which makes him stick close to his chosen canine companions. He’ll sneak a little peek at you when he feels ready, but remember, patience is key with Odie. 😌 He can do well with respectful children, but they need to understand that when he’s not in the mood to play, it’s best to give him some space. Odie is looking for a home that’s not just a house but a haven—ideally, someone who’s at home often and understands that he’s not a fit for first-time dog owners or apartment living. 🏢 He’s waiting for that special person who will give him the time and compassion he needs. So, if you feel a connection and think you could be the right match, don’t just dawdle—*apply through the Buddy App today*! 🐾✨
