Story
This is Odie, an energetic goofball. he turned a year old at the end of November but is on the smaller side at about 35/40 pounds and fully grown. He has been around a few other dogs and did fine. There is an outside cat that comes around, and he doesn't seem to mind her. He LOVES to snuggle. He is a boxer mix, so he definitely has the silly boxer quirks. He does have a little separation anxiety and isn't a huge fan of crates. Our hours at work are extremely long now and unfortunately Odie doesn't get out as much as we'd like and doesn't get the attention he desperately wants. Odie likes to play outside and run around. He does well on a leash and loves walks. He knows basic commands and will wait to eat until he is told he is allowed. He would love a family that is active and one that keeps snacks for him close by. He is neutered and up to date on all his vaccinations. We love this sweet boy and want to find a more consistent home
