Odin

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Odin is looking for a loving home where he can feel safe, secure and truly settled. He will need someone around for most of the day, as he currently struggles with being left alone and can panic and cry when separated from his people. His new family will need to be committed to gradually building up his confidence with very short periods of alone time, taking things at his pace and never rushing him. Odin also has a beautiful coat that will need regular grooming to keep it looking and feeling its best. In return, you will have a fun-loving, affectionate young boy who enjoys his walks, playtime and spending time with his favourite people. If you have the time, patience and understanding to help Odin continue to grow in confidence, he could be the perfect addition to your family! Meet Odin, a gorgeous 18-month-old boy with lots of love and personality to share! Odin can be a little cautious when meeting new people, but give him a little time and patience and he soon comes round, showing his friendly nature. He is a little rocket out on walks and absolutely loves getting out and about, enjoying all the sights and smells along the way! Odin can be worried when meeting other dogs and would prefer to have doggy friends who are small, similar in size and calm in nature. He cannot live with cats or small furries, but could share his home with older secondary-school-aged children who understand when he needs a little space. Odin is also a lovely boy to treat, taking his treats very nicely. He is beginning to show more interest in toys as he settles into foster care, with balls, chasing games and rope toys becoming firm favourites. He particularly enjoys a morning play session!

About Odin

What life with Odin looks like

Odin is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs Trust Basildon in Wickford.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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. Dogs Trust Basildon 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 — Dogs Trust Basildon 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Dogs Trust Basildon 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.
