Odessa is a friendly, energetic girl, about 18 months old. She loves to show off her playful side – she likes to chase tennis balls and play with her toys. She is also enjoying learning tricks and performing agility with our volunteer trainers. Odessa is looking for a loving family to call her own. “I went to a doggy training class at APS for volunteers and the trainer used Odessa to train us,” says one APS volunteer. “Odessa was well-behaved and obeyed commands. She went around the room and greeted each of us, making us all feel welcomed. She has a big heart. When I walked her yesterday she carried a big furry moose toy with her most of the time.”
Odessa lives in kennel 25. For more information about Odessa, contact doginfo@apsofdurham.org. To view her webpage, visit apsofdurham.org/dogs/odessa.
