Otis

My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Otis’ foster mom had this to say about him: “The most amazing snuggler!! He’s a great companion! Loves to play but also loves to sleep. Protects his people and is loyal to his family. Just wants to please his owners and will do tricks simply for praise and belly rubs! He likes to try and melt into your arms and snuggle as close to you as he can! If we didn’t have 2 dogs already Otis wouldn’t be going anywhere. He is a dream dog and with a little patience will be your best friend forever.” &#226&#156&#133 Dog friendly  &#226&#156&#133 Cat friendly  &#226&#156&#133 reptile friendly   Otis has good communication skills with other dogs. He does not react to the small and quick reptiles in his foster home He is not a fan of small children and their quick movements! Would prefer older and more considerate and dog savvy kids. Still a puppy so runs FAST and still getting used to those long limbs He is very wary of strangers but takes about 5 minutes to warm up. He is better if the introduction is done sitting as he doesn’t love people standing over him. He is wary of men and prefers women (makes sense as his rescuers were two women )  Any prospective family will need to continue his training and slow introductions. Otis had a very scary beginning and will require his family to stay on top of his training and structure and routine  Crate and house trained &#226&#156&#133 and knows the following commands:  He knows his name, come, sit, wait, knows lay down, down(get off or down), and leave it  Almost entirely leash trained! He does well when focused on his handler, he still pulls occasionally but he is walked with another dog and it’s not hard to manage. He will bark at other dogs if not kept in line!  Otis currently sleeps in a crate but he would LOVE to cuddle up to his family in bed or will accept some snuggles on the couch  When left alone Otis stays in the crate, he is very smart and has escaped if left unsecured!  Otis is not a fan of the car and gets car sick  Otis LOVES his bones Otis has exhibited no resource guarding behaviour including with his toys, food or treats  Otis is high energy with an off switch. If you want to play fetch in the yard or just cuddle he is ready for either  Visit our website to apply https://www.hankshaven.ca/info/adoption  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 16, 2025, 1:41 pm
