“I love to run and play, there’s no time to rest. That’s okay because my legs are too short to get on the bed anyway!

My name sums it all up! Odyssey: a long, exciting journey. If your family is ready for a snow-loving, ball-chasing, mischief-making pet, then I’m your boy!

Despite my strong, muscular body, I’m very gentle and affectionate. I’m not very graceful, and pretty heavy on my feet but that means I can’t be sneaky. I can sleep through the night in my kennel if you put a toy in it. No accidents in the house but I am outside a lot! We love doing things outside. Even if you don’t want to hang out with me, I’ll wait outside until you’re ready again.

I love playing with other dogs! I keep a watchful eye from across the street if we haven’t met yet, but sometimes they just keep walking which is too bad. Fetch and hide-the-ball are fun in the house, but you’ll need to hide your slippers for a while yet.

I have been hanging out with two dogs and a cat here – so far they all pass the sniff test. There’s also some older kids. I haven’t seen any smaller kids lately but I think they will be OK, I don’t like jumping up or licking/mouthing to say hi.

My nickname is Ody, pronounced like awe-dy. I know you’ll be awed by me when we meet! Let’s run!” – xo, Odyssey
