Odin Bear has the kind of face that makes you smile before he's even done anything, and then he does something goofy and you're completely done for! Maybe it's the long legs he's still figuring out how to coordinate, or the tail that seems to have a mind of its own. Whatever it is, this handsome boy approaches life with the enthusiasm of a puppy who genuinely believes every day is going to be the best day ever.
Odin Bear is approximately 5 months old and weighs around 35 lbs. We believe he may be a German Shepherd/Bloodhound mix, but with rescue, it's always a mystery! Between his floppy ears, impressive nose, and the way he can seemingly locate food before anyone else realizes it's nearby, we'd bet there's some hound mixed in there somewhere. Odin still has plenty of growing left to do and while we can't predict exactly how big he'll become, we do think he's going to grow into a pretty substantial boy. He's affectionate, playful, curious, and always interested in what everyone else is doing. He loves being included and has a happy, easygoing personality that makes him fun to be around. Whether he's carrying around a toy, investigating something new, or soaking up attention from his people, Odin seems to find joy in just about everything.
One of Odin's favorite things is food! He is incredibly food motivated, which makes him a great candidate for continued training. He's eager, engaged, and already enjoys learning new things. He is also learning to love playing with toys and has a pretty cute pounce when he gets excited.
Odin has been great meeting other dogs and seems to genuinely enjoy making new friends. He met a small dog and was very sweet, offering little kisses. He also met several large dogs and was excited to interact with them, though sometimes he'd show his puppy side when realizing how big they were. He's a social, friendly boy that could do well as an only dog or with a playful canine buddy. He also met our resident cat, Biggie, and was playful, even giving him kisses. If you have a cat, we can arrange for Odin to have a sleepover with a cat upon request.
Odin is crate trained and is doing great learning where the appropriate potty places are. Like all puppies, he'll need continued routine, consistency, and structure as he grows.
Ideal Home
Because Odin has typical puppy energy and is likely going to be a fairly large dog, we think he'd do best in a home with a backyard where he has room to run, play fetch, and stretch his legs.
Ongoing Health
Odin is up to date on all vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. He has been spayed/neutered and microchipped.
Training & Support
Odin is crate trained and is learning potty training. He is food motivated and eager to please, making him a great candidate for continued training. He is still very much a young puppy and will need consistent guidance as he grows.
