Meet Odie: 4 Years Old, 90% Certified Good Boy (10% Mischevious Pony)

Odie Bruiser is a tan and white pointer mix with movie-star good looks, professional-level enthusiasm, and absolutely no idea what personal space means.

Despite the name “Bruiser", Odie's toughest opponent is probably a closed door separating him from his people. He's a lovable goofball who approaches life with one philosophy: Why walk when you can dramatically gallop?

Odie's résumé includes:



Expert Snuggler: Will happily assist with all couch-related activities.


Neighborhood Watch Captain: Squirrels, suspicious leaves, and delivery trucks have all been put on notice.


Personal Trainer: Your daily step count is about to improve whether you like it or not.


Professional Shadow: Going to the kitchen? Odie is coming. Bathroom? Also coming. Just standing up for no apparent reason? He'd like to be involved.


Zero Concept of His Own Size: Odie firmly believes he is a small, delicate lap dog. Your lap may disagree. Odie does not care.



At 4 years old, Odie has moved beyond the tiny-puppy-chaos stage, but still has plenty of energy for walks, adventures, playtime, and whatever important business requires sniffing (and licking) every blade of grass on the block.

Odie is fully house trained, crate trained, and walks well on a leash with minimal corrections. He would likely try to engage a cat in play and hasn't met any in a few years so he would do best in a no cat or dog-savvy cat home. He also gets very excited when meeting new dogs so proper introductions (going for a side-by-side walk outside to meet on neutral territory) help him to remember his manners. Because Odie bounces like Tigger and likes to jump up to say hello he would do best in a home with older or dog-savvy kiddos.

Odie Bruiser is looking for a family that appreciates a handsome dog with a big personality, a bigger heart, and the firm belief that every household decision should involve him.
