Meet Odin - my new boy!!!

Post by felixone123 »

This will be my new boy soon. My first dutch!! I am adopting Odin from NADSR. He is currently being fostered in Michigan by a great family that treated him for heartworm. He is ok now and ready for his forever home! He is 5-7 years young and my husband and I decided he will be 6 and his birthday will be the day he arrives in our home.
I want to thank everyone at NADSR for all their help - especially Trudy and Christie and of course everyone behind the scenes. Christie is arranging transporting now.

Welcome to the forum Barbara!! You will love reading all of the stories on here, and we will love hearing about Odin's transition. He is a very lucky boy to have found himself in such a great forever home!

Additionally - if any of you forum folks are traveling or live in the area, we are looking to transport Odin as soon as we can get it arranged. He is going from Fowlerville, MI to Scranton, NY. Anyone wanna help?? Lets help him get home for Christmas.

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Tell us about yourself: I have five dogs: Alex, a chow mix who is now about 14, and four Dutch shepherds (all rescued DS): Ku (Hawaiian God of War), Kane (sounds like "Kahnay"; Hawaiian God of the Sun), Kanaloa (Hawaiian God of the Sea) and Kapua (Hawaiian gods of mischief - the Mischief Makers). Alex is our cheerleader and keeps the 4 DS in line. Three of the DS currently compete in DockDogs and we are trying to convince Lo that water is not evil. Our team name is Hawaiian by Heart which comes from the old joke by my husband that he is "Dutch by blood, Hawaiian by Heart." Our main goal is to promote having fun with your dog (and by doing so becoming partners) and supporting the rescue of the wonderful animals out there in need of homes.

We lost our big lady, Kelley, in May 2012 to cancer and she joins several other angel dogs who are now watching over us.

Hi and thanks for all the congrats!! We are going to have fun with this furry boy. I also have a 2yr old female mix breed (Dakota), who by the way is top in intelligence for being a mutt and 4 indoor cats. Here is a pic of Dakota with her buddy Harley.

Christie - i sent you an email in regards to transport. I'm not clear if you meant Scranton PA or Scranton NY. I'm hoping you meant PA. Let me know.
psst Dakota, I love you girl

Ohhh, that is soo cute. I sure wish my cat and dog would be that friendly! At best they tolerate and ignore each other. No touching is the cat's rule...or even getting too close!

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

Not knowing what Dakota is, we did her DNA (lol) and it came back Airedale Terrier, Norwegian elkhound, Afgan hound and great dane. She is super smart (not as smart as a DS) and very sweet.

Will post losts of pics as soon as Odin gets here.
