We took Junior in when he was a baby. He is currently 6 and love attention. He usually always wants someone to pet or cuddle him. He loves to eat and is a big baby who loves to talk. In stressful situations he can become agitated and defensive so he would need an experienced owner who would be able to recognize these signs.

Story
Odin is about 70 pounds, crate and potty trained and very rarely has accidents in the house. He is super active, likes to play fetch and tug of war. He likes kids but due to his size and exuberance, he may do better with bigger kids. He also is mouthy when playing and jumps up. He thinks he is a lap dog and will definitely try to sit and lay on you. He has been to doggy daycare and gets along fine with the dogs and people there. He is anxious around new people and anytime he meets someone new he barks at them. He also gets anxious at the vet.  He is very sweet with his people but wary of others. He will do great with a family that is active and can take him on long walks. He is also very smart and trainable. He’s definitely food motivated. He can sit, stay, lay down and roll over.    Odin’s adoption fee is $100.00 which includes all shots, neuter, microchip and 1 month of heartworm preventative. If you are interested, please complete the Adoption Application on our website at a4apetpantry.org Disclaimer: Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of our dogs, we are only guessing at breed mix.  June 11, 2025, 10:50 am
