Story
THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY IN A FOSTER HOME WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE OF OUR KENNEL IN WOBURN, MA. ONCE A POTENTIAL ADOPTER IS MATCHED WITH A DOG AND GOES THROUGH OUR REFERENCE AND INTERVIEW PROCESS WITH AN ADOPTION COORDINATOR THIS DOG WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO MEET BEFORE ADOPTION. IT IS OUR GOAL TO GET ALL LOCAL DOGS TO THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES WITHIN 7 DAYS ONCE MATCHED.
**Please read Odali's entire profile, which includes a link to the adoption application at the end. Thank you!**
Meet Odali - a 4 year old, Border Collie/husky mix, who weighs about 62 pounds (as of 12/20/25). This gal was previously a stray in Mexico before snooping her way to the local rescue and getting adopted here in New England. While she has gotten along with her foster’s puppy and family member’s dogs after proper introductions, we have found that Odali does not enjoy all dogs she meets so would be best to be the only dog or an applicant willing to have multiple meet and greets with their resident dog to make sure its a love match.
Her foster shares that she's the most perfect companion: loyal, sweet, and chill. She's turned into quite the low-key house dog. She loves walks and adventures, but when she's home she's content to nap and isn't needy for play. We'd say that she's a medium energy dog. She really isn't interested in the dog toys we've given her and, actually, her favorite "toy" is her dog blanket. She's the queen of cozy!
Despite being pretty low key, Odali LOVES a good dance party! So if you're prone to spontaneously busting a move in your living room or bursting into song like you're a star in a musical, Odali will happily be your backup dancer! And who knows? She might even takeover the whole stage and perform for you!
Odali is also the best companion for the kiddos! While she lived with a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, she gave them space and had endless patience with them. The little ones LOVED her, and they want all potential adopters to know that she "has the softest ears" and "is just a good dog!"
She does well when left alone, isn't destructive, is fine being handled, and is food motivated which makes training so far very successful. She is quite strong and loves squirrels, so we've been working on counter conditioning her association with them, along with leash manners and she's made huge progress. She's affectionate but you won't have to fend off constant love attacks, which is great considering her size.
Odali is a sweet and lovely girl that would be an awesome addition to your family!
All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.

PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.
Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
