After spending a year at the shelter developing good manners and maturing into a beautiful and much loved animal, Oden was adopted. The celebration was short-lived because his new owner did not follow the shelter's recommendations about acclimating a newly adopted pet to the family and Oden escaped into the wilderness surrounding Millville, NJ. Oden alluded capture for 5 months. He was finally found and identified through his MICROCHIP.

Oden was lovingly cared for during his adventure by a family that fed him everyday for 4 months even though they could not capture him. They gave him the necessary medications in his food to keep him healthy and disease free. Oden thrived in their care, gaining nine pounds! Unfortunately, Oden needs to live in a household as the only pet or his wilderness caretakers would be his forever family.

Oden is available to a special family that will follow appropriate recommendations and procedures for acclimating a new pet into their home. He will require a fenced yard and someone who is willing to provide the attention and exercise that he requires. He loves to play ball in the yard, take long walks, and snuggle up for love and affection. Oden is a very special dog with good canine manners and we are determined to find his forever happiness with the right family. Please call the shelter for an appointment to meet Oden. Only those with a fenced yard and no other pets will be considered.
