This sudden change of life turned the German Shepherd's world upside down.
By 6 August, Odin had spent a month at a rescue shelter in the Los Angeles area of California.
Overwhelmed by stress
On that day, rescuers filmed Odin behind the bars of his kennel. The footage clearly shows how stressful the situation was for the poor dog. He could be seen trying to bite his bed and drag it out of his kennel, looking completely defeated.
His distress is heartbreakingly understandable. After spending eight years with his family, he suddenly found himself in a strange, noisy environment. To make matters worse, he was put on the worst possible list — the euthanasia list. This only added to the urgency, as his time to find a new home was running out fast.
The power of social media
Thankfully, there is a happy ending to this story. In the comments section of the video, rescuers shared some wonderful news. After his video went viral, Odin was adopted by a loving family.
Social media truly worked its magic here. The widespread attention Odin's plight received saved him from being put down. While we do not know the exact reasons why he was abandoned in the first place, all that matters now is that Odin has left the shelter and can finally enjoy his new forever home!
