About Odin

Odin is a happy-go-lucky pup with a big personality and a smile that draws attention wherever he goes. Life hasn’t always been fair to Odin, but he’s held onto his playful spirit and genuine affection for people. He sticks close to his humans—sometimes right at their feet—and is always up for a new adventure or a snuggle session. He’s thrived in foster care, especially when he can soak up attention as the only pet. Odin is fully potty trained, so you won’t need to worry about accidents, and he’s an ace on a leash. Car rides get his tail wagging every time. Odin needs a home where he’s the center of attention, with no other animals to share his people with. He’s looking for a second chance and a best friend for life. By the way, Odin was born June 29, which makes him a Cancer—expect loyalty and a heart that’s sweeter than you’d think. Your new best friend is just one click away.
