Otis

My story

Allow me to introduce myself... I'm Otis, an 11-year-old professional napper, part-time cheese inspector, and full-time lover of humans. Within seconds of meeting someone, I'm already handing out big sloppy kisses and leaning into them for pets. I don't believe in strangers—just friends who haven't paid the cheese tax yet. Speaking of cheese... I somehow discovered exactly which drawer in the refrigerator keeps the good stuff. Now, whenever it opens, I politely remind everyone that taxes are due. My preferred method of payment? Cheese. Obviously. I'm your classic senior pug. My ideal day includes a leisurely stroll around the backyard, a snack (or two), a nice long nap next to my favorite person, another snack, and then curling up beside you for the evening. If you're looking for a hiking partner... well... I'll happily cheer you on from the couch. I'm wonderful with other dogs, although I'm not exactly interested in wrestling or zoomies. What is "play," anyway? Sounds like an awful lot of effort. I'd much rather share a cozy bed or sunny patch of floor with another dog than chase them around the yard. I'm mostly potty trained and know to go outside, though I may mark in a brand-new environment at first, so a belly band during my transition can help me settle in. I'm also learning that kennels aren't the end of the world—but I'll probably let you know exactly how I feel about them with my signature pug howl. My foster thinks it's adorable... your neighbors might have opinions. My perfect home is quiet, relaxed, and full of people who appreciate the simple things in life: naps, cuddles, snacks, and unconditional love. If your idea of a perfect Saturday is staying home in comfy clothes with your best friend curled up beside you... I think we might be soulmates. Now... about that cheese drawer...
