is brother Oz. Their first week in the shelter was tough; both boys were overwhelmed, unsure, and frightened by all the new sights and sounds. With time, patience, and quiet reassurance, Odin has slowly begun to trust his surroundings — but he’s still the more sensitive of the two.
While Oz bounced back quickly, Odin prefers to take things at his own pace. He’s a true lap‑dog at heart, leaning into people he trusts and soaking up affection once he feels safe. He may need a meeting or two to get comfortable with new faces, but when he does, his sweet, loyal personality shines through. Odin is the kind of puppy who bonds deeply and loves quietly but wholeheartedly.
Odin enjoys toys and gentle play, especially when he’s feeling relaxed. After a little warm‑up time, he’ll start to explore, engage, and show off his softer, sillier side. He’s still learning confidence, and he thrives with calm handling, predictable routines, and people who understand that shy puppies blossom best with patience.
He was cat‑tested and did well — with more exposure and positive experiences, he has the potential to be a cat‑friendly dog. He has also been dog‑tested; he was nervous around a very high‑energy dog, so he’ll be retested with a calmer match. His reactions show that he isn’t aggressive — just unsure — and slow introductions will help him feel secure.
Odin is looking for a home that sees the beauty in a shy dog’s progress, celebrates small victories, and offers the gentle guidance he needs to grow. If you’re searching for a puppy who will reward your patience with deep trust, affection, and a lifetime of loyalty, Odin is ready to begin that journey with you.
Odin's adoption fee is $250, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: .acskc/adopt-1
Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply!
