OTIS

NM/AZ ADOPTERS ONLY<br/><br/>Are you looking for a canine cuddle buddy, an outgoing companion who loves to play with both people and dogs?<br/><br/>Meet Otis, a gorgeous and playful, 1.5-year-old, neutered mini schnauzer puppy. White, with natural ears and a docked tail, he weighs in at 18 lb. He's being fostered in the Albuquerque area and is now being offered to New Mexico and Arizona adopters only.<br/><br/>Very bright and food motivated, Otis loves to train. He travels well in the car, is good on leash, and is good for grooming. He has yet to meet a dog he doesn't like and has even enjoyed dog daycare. Up to date on vaccines and heartworm prevention, he has no known health issues.<br/><br/>What Otis is hoping for is a calm, orderly household with someone at home most of the time (no kids under 10, please). A confident dog pal or two to show him the ropes would be a big plus. He thrives on companionship and attention; in fact, the presence of another dog helps to comfort him when people are away from home. Otis has some anxiety around being left alone, particularly in a crate, though this has improved significantly during his time in foster care. He is now okay with spending time in a crate, as long as it's the soft-sided kind. <br/><br/>As a calming measure, Otis's vet has prescribed Reconcile (approximately $20 per month).<br/><br/>Otis is sponsored by Arizona Schnauzer Rescue, Inc.; his adoption fee is $500. If you're interested, please complete an adoption application at www.azschnauzer.org, mentioning Otis in the comments section. For further information, call Connie Kallman at 505-270-4943.
