because the owner was willing to let her buy him. She wanted so badly to give this boy a chance at the best life he could have and knew the kennel was not for him. Odin is a 1 year old Husky. He needs a family that is active and without young children, but teenagers that could correct him would work fine. Walking and running are not enough for him. He needs a lot of play time with the owner and another dog to satisfy his needs. If not he will pace around like a caged tiger. He likes to play with dog toys like pulling rope, squeaking toys, & chewing bones. He also needs a 6 foot fence because hi energy is so high he could easily clear a 4 foot one. He is a very playful dog and would do best with a dog playmate that has a high energy level and a strong drive to play. He is dominant and uses his teeth often, not to harm, but to show dominant play. He needs a person that can be a strong leader to help shape him into a great dog. He is attentive and will be obedient when given strong direction. He is a small Husky at only 44 pounds, but is very determined and strong for his size. He walks and runs and does not pull if the right collar is on him. While with our foster family he has already shown great signs of improvement. Over time and with obedience training, he will be a super dog. He has been around other dogs, kids but unsure of cats. This boy is in nee of a family who is familiar with the breed and willing to show him what life has to offer. Odin is good with kiddos, but will need a home with older children because he tries to be dominant. If you are interested in committing a lifetime to this boy, please submit an application thru our website www.onedogatatime.us

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
