About Odie
Meet Odie, a 4-year-old black Rottweiler mix weighing 65 pounds, seeking a nurturing and understanding home. His journey began on the side of the road as a tiny puppy, where he and his siblings were found in dire circumstances. While his siblings have found their families, Odie has stayed with a loving caretaker who has worked hard to provide him the security he craves. Odie is neutered, house trained, and currently taking Reconcile to help manage his anxiety. Though he’s initially unsure around new people, once he establishes trust, Odie forms strong bonds. He’s gentle with his family’s five-month-old baby and prefers older, dog-savvy kids in the home. Despite being playful and intelligent, Odie does not do well with cats. He shows potential, knowing commands like sit, speak, and shake. However, he has some protective instincts, especially around his mom, which may result in barking or growling at unfamiliar faces. Odie struggles with being crated and prefers a safe space where he can feel secure, like access to one room when left alone. Due to recent family changes with a new baby, he has experienced more stress. Odie needs a patient, experienced owner who understands fear-based behaviors and can create a calm, structured environment. He doesn't quite fit with timid handlers or first-time dog owners. Odie is located in Zuni, VA, and can be transported to other areas, although a transport fee might apply. His current family is committed to finding the right match, ensuring a smooth transition. If you believe you could be the gentle guide he needs, reach out to learn more about Odie. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
