WOOF! Happy Friday! I hope you had a happy and safe July 4th. I stayed in my crate most of the late afternoon and evening. A severe loud thunderstorm came up just before the fireworks began so I curled up in my crate not far from my humans and rested. WOOF! BARKS! Fortunately, this year, there weren't many fireworks set off by our house so that was good- just paw that it stays that way the next few days.

Meet my pawsome friend Oddball from Operation Paws for Homes! She is around 7-months-old medium-size, Shepherd/Akita mix.

Oddball is a sweet and incredibly smart girl who is adjusting quite well in her foster home.

Barkingly, in the few weeks she's been at her foster home, she has learned several commands. She has learned how to sleep in her crate and to go potty outside- though she's still learning that skill.

Oddball picked up training remarkably easily. She is eager to pawlease and very treat motivated.

Oddball's favorite thing is snuggling on the couch with her foster humans getting belly rubs.

WOOF! Paws, Oddball's an energetic girl who loves playing too! She loves attention and seeks reassurance when unsure about something. She loves human interaction so expect lots of love and affection!

Oddball tested positive for Lyme before arriving at the rescue. Lymes is a very common type of bacteria that infects dogs and other species and is spread by ticks. Lymes is not contagious to humans or other pets. The only way to get this disease is to be bitten by a tick that carries it. The treatment is typically 21-30 days of antibiotics. This dog started treatment upon arriving at the rescue. Barks. '
