Adopt Odin

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 6 months

Breed: Belgian Malinois/Deerhound Lurcher Age: 8 Months Approx Odin is a very striking young lad who came to us for rehoming through no fault of his own, sadly a SEN child in the home couldn’t cope with Odins boisterous antics. He only a youngster and is a mix of high energy breeds – he needs a lot of stimulation to prevent him from coming frustrated and bored. He’s super friendly, with a goofy character! He loves people, and has lived with children aged 6yrs and over (although it would be beneficial if any children in the home were familiar with larger dogs). He would be a brilliant addition to the family – but any family who takes him on would need to have the time and knowledge for his breed. He’s a bright spark – his Mum was a Belgian Malinois, whilst his Dad was a Deerhound Lurcher – so he will be very trainable and would possibly do great in some kind of doggy sport (Cani-cross etc). Odin has been used to other dogs, he was reported to be friendly when on walks and would even jump over the garden fence to go and play with the neighbours dogs too! Whilst in our care, we have noticed that he seems to be vocal around the other dogs, but not aggressive – however some dogs will find the barking a little off putting. He’s not been cat tested, and has chased livestock/deer in the past. Odin loves getting out for his walks and particularly loves his off lead play time in our exercise compounds! He’s great with his toys, and quite well mannered – however he does jump up. He’s a typical big puppy! He can jump high, so a secure garden in his new home would be a must!

About Odin

What life with Odin looks like

Odin is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Odin, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Odin?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Odin on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Odin if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Odin already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Odin isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Ashbourne & District Animal Welfare Society early rather than rehoming privately; they know Odin and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
