Odie

Odie - Wirehaired Dachshund Mix - Male - 3 years - www.twyla.org<br/><br/>If you'd like to know more about this dog please visit our website at www.Twyla.org<br/><br/>Meet Odie: This gorgeous 3-year-old Wirehaired Dachshund and maybe Bassett Hound mix is sweet and gentle but also a little shy and timid. Odie was surrendered to us when his owner could no longer take care of him, and he's getting comfortable in his new foster home. Odie takes a while to warm up to new people - he mostly avoids eye contact until he figures out if he can trust you. Odie does well with other calm dogs his size - he's not looking for a playmate, but rather a parallel companion he can follow and mirror. He is not a fan of being alone and will voice that displeasure in a manner that suggests that his DNA contains some Bassett  Hound in there - along with the "he's a very long lowrider, isn't he?". He is fully house trained, walks well on leash and rides comfortably in the car. Odie is getting comfortable enough to play with his new toys.<br/><br/>We suspect that Odie's vision isn't the best as he closely follows his chosen dog mentor around the house - this could also explain his lack of making eye contact with people. He follows his humans around the house, but not in a clingy Velcro dog manner, more in a supervisory capacity.<br/><br/>Odie is looking for a patient home that will give him time to gain trust and security. He does OK with children that can respect his boundaries = if he moves away, let him. Another dog for him to follow will likely immediately increase his comfort level, as will someone who is home a lot.<br/><br/>Odie is not a good candidate for a first time owner, nor is he suited for apartment living, as he will alert the neighbors the minute you step out.<br/><br/>***Please note: All dogs are fostered in private homes of volunteers, so to meet a dog please fill out an Adoption Application on our website (http://www.twyla.org/adopt/our-adoption-process) so we may setup a private meetup with the dog or coordinate for an Introduction at the next general Adoption Meet and Greet (as listed on our website: (http://www.twyla.org/upcoming-events), as not all dogs attend all Meet and Greets***
