About Odie

Meet Odie! This approximately 6-month-old Heeler mix is bursting with energy and affection, and he’s ready for a fun-filled life with the right family. Neutered, vaccinated, and potty trained, Odie adores being around other dogs, making him a great companion for your furry friends. He’s not yet been tested with cats, but his friendly disposition suggests he might adjust well with proper introductions. While he hasn’t had much experience with children, Odie is social with adults, so with the right guidance, he could thrive in a household with kids. Odie’s youthful spirit makes him a perfect candidate for basic obedience training—he already shows excellent recall! This eager learner will excel in a home that provides structure, consistency, and outlets for his energy through activities like hiking or agility training. Odie has faced some challenges in the past, spending long periods confined, which has made him wary of being locked away. His foster mom has worked hard to help him gain confidence, and now he’s hoping to find a forever home where he can truly flourish.
