12. Odin

Adult (3 years 2 months) · Male · Alaskan Malamute / Mixed (long coat) · 30 mi from Keene

Meet Odin!

Big, fluffy, handsome—and an absolute sweetheart! ❤️

Odin is a 3-year-old Alaskan Malamute who is one BIG boy with plenty of floof to go around! This handsome guy came to us from the Fort Worth shelter, and honestly, we’re still trying to figure out how such a well-behaved dog ended up there!

Odin is a total gentleman in the house. He is crate trained and potty trained, although he doesn’t need a crate because he is on his very best behavior when left home alone. He gets along wonderfully with his foster family’s two other Huskies and loves meeting new people.

Read more about Odin

One of Odin’s favorite pastimes is sitting on the ledge in his backyard, watching the world go by. He’ll just sit there taking it all in like he has very important business to observe.

He walks well on a leash, although this big guy can occasionally put a little muscle into his walk when something catches his attention. Nothing unusual for a big Malamute!

And then there’s the pool… Odin accidentally took a little dip and quickly discovered that a swimming pool is apparently bottomless! He has decided that was enough aquatic adventure for one lifetime and has no intention of repeating the experience. LOL!

Odin is the kind of dog who is easy to love. He’s sweet, well-mannered, social, and just a big lovable ball of floof looking for the family he can finally call his own.

Odin is currently accepting applications for his forever home! ❤️

Could you be the family this big, beautiful boy has been waiting for?

14. Jason

Young (8 months) · Male · Great Pyrenees (medium coat) · 34 mi from Keene

Jason is kind of a special case.

He's been living in a cramped back yard with SIX other great pyrs.

As you can imagine, quarters are tight and these dogs don't get much individual attention. It's not a healthy situation for these dogs. But, Jason is young and while he's very shy and in need of a kind soul to help build his confidence, he's also super sweet and gentle.

Jason is getting accustomed to some of the regulars of being a dog, like learning how to walk on a leash, so he has a lot to learn, but he likes to please

All he needs is a little investment from you - he'll pay you back in spades!

Adopting a dog in Keene

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
