Otis is a 3-year-old, 57 lb bundle of gentle affection with a perfect underbite that will steal your heart. He's a deeply sensitive soul who thrives on quiet connection and intuitive understanding. Otis is a dog who notices everything and cares deeply, making him a truly special companion. He's happiest in a steady, calm environment where he can gradually build trust and reveal his incredibly soft heart. Once he knows you're safe, his caution melts away, leaving behind a loyal and loving friend.
Ideal Home
Otis would thrive in a home that appreciates sensitive dogs and doesn't expect instant confidence or a high-energy lifestyle. He prefers a quiet, steady routine and a calm environment over bustling social scenes. He is comfortable with calm or dog-savvy cats.
Ongoing Health
Otis is up-to-date on all vetting, including vaccinations, deworming, and flea/heartworm prevention. He is microchipped and ready for his forever home.
Training & Support
Otis is house-trained, crate-trained, and has excellent leash manners, preferring peaceful strolls. He needs patient introductions to new people, especially men, as he can become overwhelmed by too much attention too quickly. He communicates discomfort by creating space rather than confrontation. He is also more aloof than social with other dogs, preferring calm, confident female dogs.
