Overnight guest Odie *pics*

I often take dogs from the shelter to spend a night with me for a much needed break and some socialization. It is a lot of fun for me and I am able to provide the dog some training and manners for when he/she is adopted and goes to a new home. It also allows me to counsel people on the individual dogs better and I can tell them what to expect in a home environment.

During the past 2 weeks, I've had Odie over 3 different times. He's a 10 month old Heeler mix who we saved from the kill shelter. He was VERY timid and scared for his first couple weeks, but he is really coming out of his shell. He is wonderful in my home and sleeps next to me with his head on my pillow. He is really going to make a wonderful companion for a very lucky person.

(Ignore my pink premier collar I had on him, hehe)

Oh Aly he is adorable!!!! He does look and sound like he will be an awesome pet for some lucky person.

I think it's great you give the dogs a break like that. I'm sure it's wonderful for them plus increases their chances of getting adopted.

Best of luck to Odie.

Oh Aly that is great that you take dogs for the night and give them a much needed break from the shelter :D.

Odie is beautiful, and looks very happy to be visiting.

I didn't even notice the pink collar the other night! :D

Odie is a heart stealer and I hope he gets his perfect forever home soon!

Oh I pray Odie finds a wonderful forever family!!!

He sounds like a dream dog!

He is so sweet! I think it's great that you can take some of the dogs home like that. I'm sure it relieves a lot of their stress from being locked up all the time. He's a very lucky dog to have a friend like you. I hope he finds a good home soon. You ever think about getting just one more?

Odie is so cute! I love heelers! He looks so happy :)
