My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Odin is being fostered in East TN, no worries though out of state welcomed! If you are seeing this on Adopt a Pet his adoption feed includes his cost of transport to your area! We use Rescue Riders for all our pet transport needs because they are so wonderful to our babies!

East TN, out of state welcome!

Meet Odin! This handsome lad is a snuggler like nobody’s business. He loves the water and loves to swim. He is sweet to everyone people and dogs alike. He is very skittish of meeting new people and will run as fast and far away from them as possible however once he knows you he loves you fiercely. He will probably take a few days to a week to trust you . He is fearful of strangers and may pee on himself if he is spooked but this is just a fear response and not a potty training issue he is house trained, He is not dog park material due to his fear of new people. He is learning to become more confident everyday with his amazing foster mom and hopefully he can overcome his fear of new people and things. An apartment type setting would not be best for Odin he will need a large yard to run and play in.

He has anxiety in the crate and does not do well and will harm himself if left alone in the crate. He is doing fantastic out of the crate but will need to be let out to potty after four to five hours He craves human attention and is a Velcro dog. He is active and the more exercise he gets the less stress and anxious he is when he is left alone. The old saying a tired dog is a good dog stands true for this boy. Mental and physical stimulation will be best for him. He has a great recall once he knows you.
A home with older children would be best without lots of loud sudden noises and voices. A home that doesn’t have as much traffic and changes will be good for him. A home with a confident but not dominant dog would be amazing for him and if you have access to a lake or stream or swimming pool etc he will be in heaven. He loves the water and identifies as a fish when he jumps in!
