What is 12 Days of Pawlidays?
This holiday season, make a difference by helping a long-stay pet find the loving home they’ve been waiting for. From December 12–23, we’re spotlighting a different animal each day, giving them a chance to shine as the star of the day. These incredible pets have been patiently waiting for their perfect family, and now it’s their turn to find happiness. Best of all, on their special day, their adoption fees are completely waived—meaning it costs $0 to bring home a lifelong friend and brighten their holiday season.
Meet Odin: A Gentle Giant Ready for a loving Home
This holiday season, meet the canine embodiment of strength, wisdom, and love—Odin. Like his namesake from Norse mythology, Odin is a true protector and a loyal companion, ready to watch over your home and family. At nine years old and a sturdy 80 pounds, this gentle giant combines the best of heroism and heart, making him the ultimate addition to your household.
Thanks to a generous donor, Odin’s adoption fee is fully sponsored—your gift to him could be the forever home he’s been waiting for.
A Godly Heart and a Hero’s Calm
Odin may not wield a spear or ride across the sky, but his superpower is his unwavering affection. With his calm and quiet demeanor, Odin is a steadfast presence in any home. Whether you’re decking the halls, baking cookies, or enjoying a cozy evening by the fire, Odin is by your side, radiating love and loyalty.
Despite his age, Odin is as spry as ever, ready to join you on epic quests—otherwise known as long walks. Be it a eisurely stroll through the neighborhood or a brisk adventure in the park, Odin’s boundless curiosity and appreciation for life’s little joys will inspire you to slow down and savor the season.
A Protector of Peace (and Kids)
Odin’s gentle nature is nothing short of legendary. Like the wise father of gods, he is endlessly patient and understanding, especially with children. If you’re looking to bring holiday magic to your family, Odin is the perfect companion—his loving presence will make your home feel even warmer during this festive time.
Odin’s Origin Story
Every hero has a backstory, and Odin is no exception. He once lived with a family who adored him but had to make the difficult decision to surrender him when they moved to an apartment. Knowing how much Odin thrives with space to roam, they hoped he could find a new home with a yard fit for a king—or a god.
Now, Odin is in foster care, awaiting a family who will welcome him with open arms and perhaps a stocking hung just for him.
A Holiday Gift Like No Other
Imagine the joy of having Odin as part of your celebrations. He’s more than a dog; he’s a symbol of love, loyalty, and the quiet strength that brings families together. With his adoption fee sponsored, the only thing you need to give is your heart and a bit of space under your tree for his bed.
