Meet Otto! This magnificent 80-pound German Shepherd isn’t just a pet; he’s a warrior of the heart, who has faced tremendous challenges and emerged even stronger. ❤️ At just four years young, his journey has been nothing short of heroic. Can you believe it? Otto was discovered a few years back in one of our partner's warehouses, where he was malnourished and scavenging for scraps to survive. Talk about resilience! 💪 Once he found his way to Home Fur Good, it was revealed that Otto needed emergency surgery—a life-saving procedure that set him on the path to recovery. After nurturing him back to health in a cozy medical foster home, Otto was lucky enough to be adopted. But life threw another curveball, and his foster couldn’t continue caring for him due to unforeseen health issues. Now, Otto is ready to find that special someone who can truly understand him. This intelligent and loyal gentleman is eager to please, but he comes with a backstory that makes him a little reactive at times. Thanks to the incredible trainer Jereme Paddock of Paddock’s Paws, Otto has completed an extensive board-and-train program, picking up all sorts of valuable skills along the way! 🧠✨ Imagine a future with this loyal heart—he's just waiting for you to look beyond his challenges and see the steadfast companion he can be! All he needs is a calm, structured environment with an experienced adopter who will continue to help him thrive. 📅 With your patience and love, Otto will blossom into a confident, devoted friend. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a truly deserving soul, apply to adopt Otto through the Buddy App! His loyal spirit is waiting just for you!
