About Odin
Meet Odin a desexed Tri Rough Collie, approx 5 years old. He is a big solid boy of 30kg.
Odin came into CRRA care after a disruptive few months & we have no history at all of his life prior to CRRA. He is a very sweet, loving boy but appears to have limited exposure to the wider world & feel safest when he is close to his people, inside the home. Odin needs a calm, patient & experienced owner who can give him time, consistency & understanding while he builds his confidence. He is NOT suited to being left outside or to be expected to cope on his own at this stage. Odin has fostered with a Cat, other Collies & a Sheltie, with no issues. A home with a calm 2nd dog, preferably a desexed female, could be beneficial but it is not essential if his humans are home most of the time. A homebody lifestyle would suit him.
Odin is good with dogs in his own environment, but he has shown reactivity towards dogs when on lead, barking & pulling & can become anxious but once he meets the dog he settles. Therefore, he will need continued training in this area & we strongly recommend joining a training group to build his confidence, as it all stems from lack of exposure & becoming anxious. He is a smart boy and eager to learn.
Odin enjoys quiet walks, rides in the car, cuddling on the couch & sleeping in his owners' room at night (on his own bed). He loves the idea of going out into the big wide world, but the reality can cause some anxiety, although this should improve with training, exposure & patience.
He is a loving, loyal boy, a big cuddly bear, who will make a wonderful lifelong companion, he just needs some help to understand the world is not a scary place.
