Odie was rescued from severe neglect and a life of breeding for profit. He arrived in poor condition, matted & dirty and in need of some serious TLC. He has spent several weeks in foster care getting cleaned up and being closely looked after, and is now ready to find a loving home of his own. Odie is a neutered male Mini Poodle, approximately 3-½ years old and full-grown. Having spent years enduring neglectful conditions, he is a bit timid and skittish, but really loves to be held and will look to people for comfort and security. He will need dedication to helping him become more socialized and adjusted to all the normal things most dogs grow up with in a home, as well as a little patience and understanding while he settles in and adjusts to his new life. A securely fenced yard is recommended. He will require regular brushing and grooming to help keep his skin and coat in healthy condition, too. He is also still working on his house training skills and will benefit from a predictable routine and consistent schedule.
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Odie is sponsored by Amy Courtine in memory of Izzy, Melford Swanson, David and Nancy DeLand, Jellybean (former NCCR resident) and Doodlebug Parker, Diane Mogavero, and Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron. Thank you everyone!
