Odin is a 3-year-old Walker/Lab Mix in Saint Augustine, FL, who needs $900 for mass removal surgery.

Odin came into our life by accident. He was handed to my then 5 year old son outside of Walmart as a little puppy the lady then walked off. My son was instantly in love and Odin has been his best friend and constant companion ever since. All my son wanted from Santa this year was his dog's leg fixed so he could go back to normal and play again.

Before the tumor Odin was high energy play all the time. He loves fetch, hiking, wrestling with the cat and lounging on the couch his his boy Adyn. Unfortunately since the tumor has grown on his hind leg running and hiking have been off the table due to pain. Odin likes to be close to the family either laying on the cough with my children or under the table by me and my wife he loves family.

With the last year I lost my job due to covid in March Finally got back to work in Dec then was exposed to covid and placed on quarantine. It has been a rough year and all my son wanted for Christmas from Santa was his dog's leg fixed so they could play again.

We took Odin to First coast No More Homeless pet to see what was going on with this tumor. After blood work it appears to be a mass cell tumor and fairly simple to remove. it is roughly the size of a large softball. It does not appear to be cancerous, thank God. his surgery is scheduled for the 11th of Jan. hopefully we will be able to keep the appt.

Odin has two best buddies! My son Adyn and Bronn the cat. Odin is extremely smart and attentive to his people he will always come lay his head on you when your feeling down. He is also a clown always on his back legs flopping acting like he doesnt have a care in the world. He is the best dog I have ever had in my life just a joy.
