Story
Hi! I’m Odie...aka Odie Boats. I am the shy-but-oh-so-sweet little terrier you’ve been dreaming about. Let me tell you about myself...I’m around 4 years old, weigh 12 lbs, and I don’t shed much.
It’s clear that maybe I didn’t have a lot of life experience before coming into foster care, because a lot of things are new and sometimes scary. But I am so, so brave. The foster lady here is so proud of me every day because she can see more and more of my silly inner self just waiting to burst out. Like walks, for example. The first few days I was really unsure of that leash thingy. I’m still a little uncertain at first, but once I get going, I love to motor and explore this big, beautiful new world. I follow the foster lady and man everywhere...I want to be close to them at all times. The foster lady said I’m like her little shadow. I want to be pet so badly, but sometimes it takes me a minute to feel safe. But you’ll see my tail going 100 miles an hour, it’s like a little motor. I really need to sleep in the bed and be close to my humans. The foster parents tried putting me in a crate overnight, but I was so sad and cried a lot. They decided to break the rules and put me in the bed, and I curled right up at their feet and slept like a baby all night. So that’s a fun new requirement for my new family: must love to sleep with shy-but-oh-so-sweet little terrier. I also like snoozing and watching TV on the couch with you. Sometimes I’ll go lay in my crate with soft blankies near the TV, too.
I also LOVE to snuggle with other dogs. It makes me feel safe. So a nice dog friend of any size that wouldn’t mind me snuggling into them would be so wonderful. Another thing I’d love in my new home is someone who is around a lot. I really like to be with my family. I can hang out in my crate when you go to work, but I will cry, so an apartment or condo with shared walls probably won’t work.
Lastly, I have an easy to treat condition in my eyes called dry eye. This means I will need medicated drops twice a day for the rest of my life. It takes 2 seconds, and the foster lady can show you how easy it is. So that’s me...I am excited to meet my new family, and I hope they will show me love, patience, and kindness...I will return it 10,000 fold.
