In the shelter’s words

Otis is a wonderful dog with a big heart who’s ready to find his forever home. He would thrive as your one and only pet, where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. He is not good with dogs or cats. Otis is crate trained and housebroken, making him an easy addition to your daily routine. He already knows several commands including sit, down, stay, and heel, and he’s eager to keep learning. While he does well overall, he could use a little more practice with leash manners.Otis absolutely loves people and enjoys being part of whatever adventure you’re on and just spending time together. He previously lived in a home with a fenced yard and would do best with one again, giving him space to explore and play safely. If you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion to share your life with, Otis might just be your perfect match!DOB 2/7/24 Pounds 42I'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.
