Hello, hello! I’m Odette, and you are…? I bet you are wondering how a dog like me wound up in the hands of a rescue group. Well, I was found by San Antonio Animal Care Services after being hit by a car. I was in rough shape with a broken front leg as well as having great difficulty using my back end. Fortunately, the shelter provided me with much-needed analgesics and gave me a little time to see how I might recover. After about a week I was able to rise. I won the hearts of the shelter workers and they started their campaign of finding me a rescue or eligible adoption placement. Something about my pitiful face, tattered ears, and bum leg prompted SNIPSA to take a chance on me. Fast forward and x-rays showed not only did I have a fractured radius and ulna, but I also suffered a traumatic tear to my ACL. The kind doctor at STVS put my front leg back together with a metal bone plate and lots of screws (I don’t want to count but I saw the x-ray and wow that’s a lot of metal for a girl like me). Now I spend countless hours as a “couch hog” resting and dreaming about my days of frolicking through green pastures. Down the road, I will have my knee repaired but for now, I am doing quite fine. I love to explore the backyard and have especially enjoyed all our beautiful sunshine. I am putting on some weight and my coat is ever so shiny. Docile, curious, regal, and kind – I am a fantastic specimen of a dog. I love everyone I meet and don’t quite understand that my large head can take up almost your entire lap. My long legs fill up the entire back seat and my shoulders sit well above your knees. I love kids and other dogs alike, and am just happy to be alive. Being a Great Dane mix, I am gentle, loyal and a little goofy. The more you read about my breed, the more you will grow to love us. You may notice that my adoption fee is slightly higher due to all the extra medical care I have received. I have been lucky to have a great team supporting me along the way and look forward to the day when I will find my forever people. So, won’t you consider adopting me? Although you may have to buy a little extra dog food or invest in a family sized dog bed, I promise not to disappoint. I am in it to win it!!!!

SNIPSA is an organization formed by a group of veterinarians and caring individuals dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted animals in San Antonio and the surrounding area. SNIPSA does not have a standing shelter and depends on a core of volunteers to foster and rehabilitate animals in their homes. This provides us with the opportunity to learn first hand about the animal’s needs and behavior in order to facilitate an appropriate adoption. SNIPSA was incorporated in 2005 and has re-homed more than 3000 animals.
