Meet Odin, a stray dog that was rescued and had a transformation that shocked the internet. Odin the rescue malamute story is one of hope, forgiveness, and love. Sydney Saldino together with some caring people are responsible for turning the life of this amazing dog around for the better.

Saldino does small scale rescues of many animals while also attending medical school. He has taken more than 75 dogs and helped them find a happily ever after.

Recently, he took a break from rescuing, but when he was informed about a puppy mill with huskies who were in need of emergent help he couldn’t help but take in more dogs. Currently, his property is full of dogs and he asks well-wishers to help him out any way they can.

When he rescued Odin, he was covered in ticks, filled with worms, and terrified – simply put he was in an awful state. Saldino decided to take Odin to his house where he took care of him until he recovered. Currently, Odin is living his life to the fullest surrounded by people who love and spoil him.

Be sure to check out this amazing transformation. You won’t believe your eyes!

I shared these pictures before, but comparing them is just so insane to me. 🤯🤯 Odin you perfect adorable boy!! Sitting here reflecting… I just can’t believe how far we have come. If you want to help us make more happy ever after, please consider donating. I literally can not keep helping those in need without some one helping me. I hate to think of any suffering because I can’t get them because of how behind I am in vet bills 😭😭 We just picked up a new malamute yesterday that was no longer wanted in his home… He is a cute boy. ❤️ I shared his picture next. To try to explain how many we are helping.. We rescue those in need, and we are constantly donating supplies and money to vet bills for rescues… #malamute #malamutesofinstagram #alaskanmalamutesofinstagram #alaskanmalamute #alaskanmalamutesofig #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescue #beforeandafter #rescuesuccessstory

The faces of Odin throughout his continuing journey. 💕❤️💕 I cried so much today. Not sad tears.. Very happy ones. I can’t begin to express my gratitude to everyone who has been supportive in so many ways to help me care for Odin. (Crap I’m crying again trying to type this out- I’m such a softie sometimes 😂) I have been getting these amazing goodies for Odin, and I truly want to express my gratitude and explain how much it helps me care for him. (I’m a student, and I have to make the most of my funds.) From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Not only to those who got items, but to everyone who has been so amazing through this process. I hope this series of pictures show how big of a change has been made. Thank you: Farid, @lexhaider, @lv_rider, @fryesa03, @grasshoppergurl If you’ve done something to help, and I did not say thank you to you. Please know this was on accident, and I appreciate you so much. #yesthisisthesamedog #miracleshappen #lovewillalwayswin #odin_the_rescue_malamute #studentdoctor_huskymom #thankyou #sothankful #rescuedog #rescued #transformation #fosteringsaveslives #malamute #alaskanmalamute #alaskanmalamutesofinstagram #malamutesofinstagram #alaskanmalamutes #malamutes #inspiration #thedodo #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuepup #rescuesuccessstory #heartwormpositive #heartwormssuck #heartwormawareness #rescuedogawareness

I continue to be amazed by the resiliency of dogs. They are able to bounce back from situations and misfortune while still having so much love to give. Odin has really taught me so much. Odin has been recovering very well from his surgery. Unfortunately I had a mix up on what time to bring him in this morning for his sedation and x Rays. I don’t think Odin minded the extended break from the vet office, and I am hoping maybe it is somehow a good thing to have him take a longer break before being put under again. After these X-Rays we will soon have his first injection. I knew he would need hospitalization, but I think I somehow failed to realize it will be for three long days. So I will be a mess missing him! Odin has been seriously fluffing up here lately. I swear day by day I notice more thickness and fullness to his coat. It kinda gives him a cute chubby appearance almost. I including a pic from the beginning and today to show, and a few extras that were cute. You can see that he has a cute fluffy tail now 🥰🥰 I hope Odin’s story helps inspire people to see the potiential on stories that seem like a lost cause. If Odin’s story inspires you to help, there are so many ways you can make a difference. See what help your local shelter or rescue needs – volunteering, fostering, adopting. Sometimes even simple things like helping share to local pages about available adoptable animals, helping teach people about spay/neuter, or collecting newspaper for puppy rooms etc! No matter what you do it helps and it matters a lot to dogs like Odin I hope everyone is doing well! Thank you so much for supporting this wonderful guy through it all! ❤️ #odin_the_rescue_malamute #studentdoctor_huskymom #southernpinesanimalshelter #rescuedog #fosteringsaveslives #alaskanmalamutesofinstagram #rescuefosteradopt #rescuedogsrule #rescuedogsofinstagram #comfydog #malamute #malmutesofinstagram #malamuterescue #rescuemalamute #beforeandafterrescue #thedodo #rescuestory #rescue #rescuestory
