Otis

Otis is a 4 1/2-year-old, 145-pound Rottweiler with a giant heart who is looking for a fresh start.<br/><br/>His story with Fur Fun Rescue began before his eyes were even open. Otis came into rescue at just 8 days old after his mom, Sasha, gave birth to her puppies while in the care of Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control. He was raised in a loving foster home before being adopted at 11 weeks old.<br/><br/>Otis spent the next several years as a much-loved family member. Sadly, life took an unexpected turn. After losing his canine brother to cancer, Otis's mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer and later passed away. His dad then lost his home, making the heartbreaking decision to return Otis to rescue. It was a tremendous amount of change for one dog, and it took him a little while to find his footing again.<br/><br/>Today, Otis is ready to focus on the future.<br/><br/>He's a happy, affectionate boy who loves spending time with his people. Tug-of-war is one of his favorite games, and he's undefeated! He also loves splashing around in his baby pool, dropping his toys into the water just so he can fish them back out again.<br/><br/>Because of his size, we're looking for a home where Otis can be the only dog. He has adjusted well to being the center of attention and would love a family all to himself. A physically fenced yard is required so he has plenty of room to safely run, play, and enjoy his favorite activities.<br/><br/>At 145 pounds, Otis isn't just a dog...he's a lifestyle. He firmly believes personal space is overrated, one couch should comfortably seat one Rottweiler (with humans squeezing in wherever they fit), and every game of tug-of-war ends exactly the way he planned it.<br/><br/>If your home has room for one oversized best friend with an even bigger heart, Otis is ready to claim half your yard, most of your couch, and all of your heart.<br/>Otis is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, and microchipped.<br/><br/>Apply to meet Otis at www.furfunrescue.org<br/><br/>If you have questions, you can email rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657.<br/><br/>Adopters must be within a two-hour drive of Cedar Rapids, IA.<br/>Otis is looking for an indoor home. <br/>Adoption fee $300.
