-Additional Information:
Otis is an active, playful puppy looking for a responsible, permanent home! He and his 3 siblings arrived to us as strays so their histories are pretty unknown, however, since being here, they have been very outgoing and friendly. Puppies have a tendency to get into trouble so they will need plenty of toys and mental enrichment to keep their brains busy. These pups are very food-motivated so treats will go a long way with their training. With patient guidance and the structure and socialization provided by the puppy classes he will attend with her future adopter, he will grow into a great companion. If you're interested in meeting with Otis or his siblings, please fill out an application at the front desk!
If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
