Odin is a large, adult male Shepherd mix living in Lumberton, TX. He’s a smart, sensitive dog with a strong loyalty to those he bonds with. Odin is neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. While house training is still a work in progress, he is already crate-trained and learns routines quickly. Odin is best suited for a quiet household without other male dogs, small dogs, cats, or children, and he’s looking for an experienced owner who understands his anxious side.

About Odin

Odin is 78 pounds of unwavering loyalty packaged into a Shepherd mix with a soft spot for the right person. To outsiders, he might seem imposing, but those who know him see a gentle, affectionate shadow—a certified cuddler, a true Velcro dog, and an expert at dishing out kisses. Odin’s got brains, too: he’s house-trained, crate-trained, picks up tricks quickly, and wants nothing more than to stay connected with his person. The world is a lot for Odin at times. Loud noises like trucks or motorcycles can rattle him, and new people or overstimulation make him anxious. He needs a quiet, low-traffic home with an experienced, patient leader who understands that his "reactivity" stems from insecurity and worry. Odin should be the only dog or maybe share space with a laid-back female, but male dogs, small dogs, cats, and children just aren’t a fit. Even things like nail trims take extra patience. He’s searching for a calm home and a steady presence to restart his journey—someone who gets that his loyalty runs deep and his best side shines with gentle guidance. He’s available for adoption throughout parts of Eastern Canada and is waiting in Lumberton, TX. Odin’s hoping for a quiet, reassuring home where he can finally exhale and let his loyalty shine. Adoption fee is sponsored with vaccines, microchip, and neuter included. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
