Meet Odie

Update 8/12/25

Meet Odie, the king of comfort 👑 — a gentle giant who has perfected the art of couch surfing (and we’re not talking the travel kind 🛋️😂). At 7 years young, he’s still got plenty of pep in his paws 🐾 but prefers a life of leisure, snuggles, and parading his beloved stuffed toys around like prized treasures.

Odie is goofy, affectionate, and loyal to his humans. He enjoys car rides 🚗, easygoing walks 🌳, and quiet afternoons just hanging out. He’s polite with visitors, calm in new situations, and happiest when he’s near his people ❤️.

He’s also a great communicator — you’ll get a gentle nudge when it’s time for dinner 🍽️, and if you’re slow to sit down for cuddles, he might follow you from room to room until you get the hint.

While he’s a pretty chill guy, Odie does have some quirks—he’s a bit of a counter-surfer 🍞 (bread is his weakness) and may have a touch of separation anxiety when left too long. He’s housetrained, trustworthy with free roam, and walks nicely on a harness—just be ready to redirect him if a fence-line dog starts talking smack 🐶💬.

Odie’s lived happily with another Great Dane, greets strangers with grace, and doesn’t seem bothered by squirrels 🐿️ or cats 🐱 from a distance. He’s not a high-energy dog but still enjoys short bursts of play and the occasional zoomie session that reminds you he’s still just a big puppy at heart 💖.

Odie’s wish list for his forever home:
✨ Calm, easygoing household (older kids or adults preferred)
✨ Humans home often enough to keep him company
✨ A fenced yard for sniffing, sunbathing, and toy parades
✨ Possibly a chill doggie roommate
✨ Plenty of soft spots for napping and stuffed animals for collecting

Health-wise, he has mild arthritis and one adorably unique oval-shaped pupil (he was born that way—it doesn’t affect his vision 👀).

If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will fill your couch, your camera roll 📸, and your heart 💖—Odie is ready to meet you.
