Otie's Story

Meet Otie! <br/><br/>Otie is a quirky little guy with a big personality packed into his 22-pound frame! Around 6 years old, this medium-sized boy is settling into foster life and showing off more of his funny, determined spirit every day.<br/><br/>Hes a huge fan of car rides and will happily be your copilot on any adventure. He LOVES tennis balls and squeaky toysbasically anything he can proudly carry around like a prize. He hasnt quite mastered drop it (were still deciding if its playfulness or pure stubbornness ), and with no tail to wag, his expressive personality comes out in hilarious vocalizations instead.<br/><br/>But heres the real deal with Otie: hes a tough little character with some special care needs. He struggles with allergies that affect his ears and skin. Right now hes on steroids, antibiotics, and ear cream, and the vet has recommended he will likely need monthly medication moving forward to keep things under control. Any adopter should be prepared for ongoing management of his allergies and possible ear flare-ups.<br/><br/>Personality-wise, Otie is full of opinions and determination. He has a high prey drive (he proved this with chickens, so no small animals ), and hes not suitable for a home with young kids. His toy possessiveness is realif Otie wants it, he will get itand sharing is not on his list of skills. With other dogs, he can coexist in the right match, but slow introductions and a calm, tolerant dog are key. He and his foster sibling are doing fine now, but it took patience and boundaries to get there.<br/><br/>Otie is stubborn, persistent, and absolutely full of life. Hes not for everyonebut in the right home, one that understands his quirks, is willing to manage his allergy/ear care, and gives him structure, he will be an incredibly loyal, funny, and entertaining companion.

We have a written application all potential adopters must fill out. Once the application is complete, we call all vet references to make sure their current pets are well taken care of (up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention, sterilized). If the adopter rents, we will call the landlord to make sure they are allowed to have pets and have no restrictions. We require a meet and greet with all of their current pets before adoption.
