Meet Odin, named after a one eyed Greek god, because he only has one eye. Even with only one eye, he gets along quite well, only a little more cautiously. He’s a big 25 pound boy, about 9 years old. He is a mix, and based on his sturdy build we believe him to be Shih Tzu and Bull dog. Odin came into rescue because his owners had to move to a facility that didn’t accept dogs. He has wonderful house manners, and gets along with people and other dogs. He is house trained and lets you know when he needs to go out by either barking or patting you on the leg. He especially likes to be by his people. He may be a big boy but he really enjoys sitting on your lap to get lots of petting. He also enjoys slow, leisurely walks as well as chewing on his toys. Because he only has one eye, Odin has problems with depth perception and is tentative about going up and down stairs and steps. His one remaining eye is a bit dry, and his foster parents put in artificial tears to keep him comfortable and to maintain the health of his eye. He does not like going to the veterinarian or being groomed, and needs to be medicated to make it easier for both him and the vet or groomer. A family with older respectful children would be best, or a home with no children, and he would be fine with another dog or as an only dog.
Odin is neutered, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative. He has had a dental while he has been in our rescue. His adoption fee is $170.00 plus $12.79 sales tax for a total of $182.79. His foster parents prefer that his adopters live within 100 miles of St Louis Park, MN and would like his new family to commit to attending the Shih Tzu Rescue Annual Reunion in September.
To meet Odin, please complete an adoption application at the website listed in the first paragraph. Or you can also see him and the other dogs available for adoption from Shih Tzu Rescue of Minnesota by visiting with us from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Minnetonka Petco near Ridgedale the first Saturday of every month.
