🎉 Odie Has Found His Forever Home! 🎉

After a few long months of recovery, resilience, and lots of love, our sweet 9-year-old Odie has finally gone to his forever home! 🏡💛

Odie's journey has been full of challenges, from surgeries and infections to overcoming stress-related skin issues, but through it all, he remained the gentle, loving soul we’ve all come to adore. Thanks to the incredible support from our community, Odie received the care he needed to heal and is now starting the next chapter of his life with a wonderful family.

We couldn’t be happier for this special boy, and we know his future is as bright as his beautiful spirit. 💫
