Odin

Hello, my name is Odin. My animal id is #262859. I am a desexed male white dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 5 years 6 months 4 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a agency on 8/19/2026.

Sorry, this pet is for new hope partners only.

The owner stated that the resident child entered the room and accidentally fell on Odin. As a result, Odin bit the child on the hand and leg. These bites did break skin, and the child went to the hospital for treatment. Odin's owner also states that he is easily startled from quick movements or loud noises. Due to the detailed behaviors, we recommend an experienced adult only home.

Details on my behavior are...

Behavior Condition: 4. Orange

Date of intake:: 8/19/2026

Spay/Neuter status:: Yes

Means of surrender (length of time in previous home):: Stray, With history

Bite history:: On the 19th of August, the resident child (who is under 12yrs) was playing with Odin when he bit the child unprovoked on the left hand and the lower left leg. These bites did break skin and resulted in puncture wounds. The resident child was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for his wounds. After getting in contact with the owner, they stated that the child was entering the bedroom when they accidentally fell on top of Odin. Odin got startled, and that’s what caused the bite incident. It is reported that this is the first bite incident

Date of assessment:: 8/24/2026

Summary:: Odin was brought to MACC following a bite incident in the home. On the 19th of August, the resident child (who is under 12yrs) was playing with Odin when he bit the child unprovoked on the left hand and the lower left leg. These bites did break skin and resulted in puncture wounds. The resident child was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for his wounds. After getting in contact with the owner, they stated that the child was entering the bedroom when they accidentally fell on top of Odin. Odin got startled, and that’s what caused the bite incident. It is reported that this is the first bite incident, but Odin does get startled easily from loud noises or fast movements. In kennel, Odin does not interact with handlers and is receptive to treats when the handler moves away. Due to the multiple bite incident, Odin is not a candidate for a handling assessment at this time.

Summary (7):: 9/2/26: On the whiteboard, Odin is note to not move over for the double clean in kennel. 8/29/26: Odin is observed to paw/dig at the kennel floor when the room is slightly active. 8/27/26: Odin is noted to lay in his kennel he doesn't approach the handler when the handler tries to interact with him. Odin remains frozen in place. 8/24/26: Odin is lying at the front of the kennel with a slightly tense body when the handler approaches. The handler speaks in a soft tone and tosses pieces of chicken. Odin shows no reaction. The handler moves away to give Odin space, once the handler moves away, he begins to engage with the chicken. The handler reapproaches and tosses more pieces of chicken. Odin is readily receptive this time and eats the chicken. The handler tosses a few more pieces and then ends the interaction.

Date of intake:: 8/20/2026

Summary:: Very fearful

Date of initial:: 8/20/2026

Summary:: Thrashed when leashed, tense body, opted to sedate

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Odin so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in addition to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only

Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to the bite incident we recommend an adult only home. We recommend placement with a New Hope rescue partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. Force-free, reward based training and/or consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended.

Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Multiple-bite history/risk of future aggression,Anxiety,Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful Defensive/ Multiple Bite History/ Bite History (Human): Please see bite history above for more details. Odin's previous owner stated that he is easily startled from loud noises or fast movements. Please see handout on Bite History and Potential for Future Aggression and Fearful and Defensive Aggression. Anxiety: Odin's previous owner stated that he is anxious in the home and was prescribed medication for it. If Odin displays anxious behavior in their future home, we recommend puzzle toys, long walks, and giving them other things to focus on to alleviate their anxiety. Positive reinforcement, force-free training should be used. Please see handout on Generalized Anxiety.
