About Odie:
Odie is a handsome young pup; he is smart, affectionate and is very close to his human. In a new environment, he would carefully sense the surrounding and then make a move. He is loving and submissive by nature; very friendly and playful. He plays well with other dogs, only a little watchful when approached by cats, nevertheless, will stay calm and keep distance from the cat(s).
Odie is super smart; he is aimed to please, so is easy to train. He has good mealtime manners and would never fight for food. Odie is loyal to his master; he would follow the lead of his human. Odie will make the best companion dog and a great hiking partner if you are looking for one. Please watch his videos attached below.

Odie’s rescue story:
On her way to work, the volunteer spotted little Odie roaming on the roadside a couple times. It was freezing cold in the mountains in January and food was hard to come by. There is no sight of this young puppy’s mother around the area, so the volunteer decided to settle this friendly little guy into foster home. Odie was very affectionate and close to people, there is a good chance for him to find a forever home. Without hesitation, we signed him up for our overseas adoption program.
