New Addition

[jane]

We have a new addition to the family! I really wanted a puppy, but when Dan and I saw all the newfs in rescue we decided to take in a newf in need....Meet Odin(formerly Newton). Odin is 3 and came from a very abusive situation. His family didn't really take care of him. They let him roam free, and on top of that their neighbor was coming on to their property and abusing Odin. Kicking and punching him. Shooting him with BB's. And...Letting their pitbul attack Odin. He is a very scared boy. Needs a lot of TLC!!!! Skin is horrible. Never seen ears so infected. He took to the raw immediately and has gained great trust in me already. He's only been here since saturday. I've gotten him to play with toys. He hates loud noises. Adjusting a little to Shannon's love of barking Merlin tried to play with him with a toy but he went into resource guarding. I took the toy from him and gave it to Merlin and we are working on him understanding he will always be able to go to the box and choose a toy. He does enjoy the toys but not Merlin chasing him. He also likes Sassy a lot!

His build and floofy head reminds me a lot of Roger. He has the sweetest eye's but will be even sweeter when the trust is there and his eyes get that special twinkle. He needs to put on at least 20-25 lbs. Look's like he just stepped out of a concentration camp. A few day's on raw and I already see him perkier. Also giving him satin balls.

He came from SCNR, and with the help of 3 wonderful people made his way safely to us. I know one of them is on here...Thank you Maggie & Elvis for opening your home to this sweet boy and helping to get to us!!!

Poor fellow. Well, I am 100 plus percent sure that Odin has started his new WONDERFUL life as of Saturday. Hope we get to see pictures as he turns into one handsome Newf dude.

 

[DAWNMERIE]

Odin is in for a beautiful life

Congrats and I'm sure he will flurish under your care What a beautiful face!

Welcome, Odin! You are handsome!

Jane, you are more than welcome. It was our pleasure!

We were lucky enough to keep this guy overnight Friday night. He is the sweetest thing and just absolutely broke my heart. He liked Elvis so I'm sure he's just thrilled to be with Shannon, Merlin, and Sassy! He's a great traveler and was so well behaved overnight. I slept in the basement with him and woke up at 3am to find him cuddled right beside me. I'll tell you, if he wasn't going to such a great family I totally would have kept him!

Jane I hope you don't mind, but here are the pictures I took when I wasn't too busy loving on him.

This was right after he got in my car Friday evening.

I heard he liked cheese so I tried to give him some goldfish crackers........

I can't wait to see what he looks like in a few weeks. I know he'll be happy, healthy and spoiled rotten in no time!

Poor dude!! He looks so much younger......and unhealthier.....givin his age. He sure hit the jackpot with you and your family!! Man is he ever in for a fantastic life! Thank you for giving this handsome fellow a chance and bringing him into your wonderful family. He hit the jackpot for sure!!:kgo_027:

 

[ajcooksey]

So sad I am so happy that he ended up with you and I can't wait to see him flourish.

 

[dumainedogs]

You're doing a fabulous thing! Odin will certainly realize he has hit the jackpot very quickly! Congratulations on your new addition.

Hooray for Odin and for you, Jane! And great job SCNR and Maggie and everyone else that helped him find his way to you and your family.

His story just breaks my heart. I'm so happy you found each other. I wish him nothing but the best. That last picture makes me think he's finally sleeping soundly! :snore: Nothing but sweet dreams now!! Congratulations.

 

[CMDRTED]

OMG, you can tell he's going to be such a cutie! How sad to see hime now and how he was treated. Makes me sad and furious at the same time to think how he lived. But happy knowing he's where he should be, and will have a happy loving home.

[hsemko]

Oh Jane,
I think Odin is just what you needed and needless to say he's in need of you. I'm sure in no time he'll adjust to the others and they him. His head is very nice and once his body builds up he'll look magnificent. Please keep us posted on his weight gains etc.. I'm so happy for you guys. I'm sure Roger is looking out for him too!

 

[Natasha]

Poor, poor thing You've done such a wonderful thing by adopting him, I bet he's never known such love existed before <3

 

[anya]

Oh, what joyful news. Thank you for taking such a wonderful newf into your home. I can't wait to hear how he will thrive under your love and care.

 

[Murphy]

Oh my God Jane. He is precious. :tequila:

We will talk later as to why I wasn't notified.. :devil3:

 

[cmorgan.1505]

[Kayak]

I'm so glad he found such a wonderful family to join. I wish more was being done to people who abuse dogs like Odin. I LOVE the name Odin!!!

 

[pecanpiepatti]
