This gorgeous mammoth of a dog is Odin.
He was found abandoned in a trailer, dehydrated and starving to death.
This is an extremely common occurrence these days, even here in Maine. We are getting cases like Odin's almost every week now. Many are drug related. Many are not.
He was an anxious, confused mess when he got here. He had never been crate or kennel trained, which makes such an emergency case even more difficult on the poor dog. (PSA crate train your dog, even if you don't want to use one all the time).
We are spending alot of time with him and he is settling in nicely, while he awaits his neuter surgery.
He is well mannered in our real life cabin, he has basic obedience and is very responsive and observant. He also has great intuitive sense, and obviously, is extremely intelligent.
We are looking for a kind, even tempered new guardian for him, who will take time to understand his needs and meet him where he is. Some people may want to turn him into something he's not- he does not want to be a working dog, nor is he cut out for that. What he wants is an adult home with a lovey fence, and happy walking and hiking adventures. As well, he demands time for his favorite games which are fetch, and "pop up".
He is right around 2-3 years old. He will weigh 110 pounds at least, when he gets back up to a healthy weight.
If you're not totally familiar with handling a very large breed, very smart, very attention needing dog- pick someone easier.
But if you want a dog who will be the dog of your life, with all that comes along with that, contact us AFTER reading through our adoption "stuff" as well as our contract at https://peaceridgesanctuary.org/adopt/
Please do not comment about your desire to adopt him unless you will be proceeding to fill out our adoption material. Doing so only lessens his chances of picking up serious interest.

Those who remember Astra, one of more than 100 animals we took from a local cruelty seizure in late April, know this poor girl wasn’t able to support herself standing or walking when we took her in. Since then, she has been doing daily rehab, walking assisted with a lift, and spending time in her cart. She also loves hanging out in one of the fences, watching all the sanctuary activites. She is doing so much better these days that she has moments where she is able to stand and walk around unassisted now that she has grown stronger and built back some muscle.
We’re still waiting for her day in court to officially win her freedom, but in a holding pattern because the people she was seized from have been granted multiple continuances. But as soon as it that happens, we’ll let everyone know!
Go Astra, go! ❤️

MJ and Fred recently joined one of our staff packs and quickly became great friends!
When they’re not entertaining each other and their pack mates, they’re looking for cuddles from anyone who’s around ❤️
Both are up for adoption and are patiently waiting for their forever homes!
