Meet otis *adoption pending*

Current Location: Baltimore, MD


Otis, lovingly called Ottie, is a gentle, snuggly soul who believes he belongs exactly where you are. Ideally on your lap. Or leaning fully against you. Or quietly sitting on top of you, unaware that fifty three pounds is not technically lap sized.

His energy is nicely balanced. He enjoys walks and exploring, but he is just as happy lounging on the couch and soaking up affection. He matches the rhythm of the home. Calm when you are calm. Ready to move when you are. He would enjoy regular walks but does not need a high intensity lifestyle.

Otis is house trained and crate trained. He sleeps through the night without a sound and goes into his crate easily when he knows food is coming. He does not appear destructive and may not need a crate long term, but he is perfectly comfortable using one. He walks well on leash with mild zig zag curiosity and shows no reactivity to other dogs.

He is excellent with dogs and lived peacefully with cats in his former foster home. He was respectful with them and did well. He also enjoys chewing on his bone and has shown no signs of resource guarding. Outside, squirrels are still very suspicious creatures and worthy of investigation, and he will show you his athleticism if he sees one nearby.

Otis is affectionate, gentle, and friendly with new people. He can be slightly startled by quick movements but recovers easily. He has been quiet so far with no barking, making him a good fit for apartment or urban living. He does get a bit enthusiastic when excited and may be jumpy, so very small children could be knocked over by accident.

Otis was found chained, emaciated, and neglected. He has gained weight and is now fifty three pounds, though he should likely be closer to sixty. Despite what he has been through, he is sweet as pie, trusting, loving, and deeply affectionate.

Otis would do well in most homes that value companionship, comfort, and a dog who wants nothing more than to be close to his people. He is not looking to run marathons. He is looking to belong.

This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. The disease was treated while in foster care. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.
