🌟 Meet Otis, a true survivor with a heart as big as his personality! This handsome 3-year-old white doodle has faced challenges that would make anyone weep, yet he carries a spirit that’s simply unbreakable. 🐶 At 68 pounds, Otis is a confident canine with a presence that shines bright, exuding charm and charisma wherever he goes. Despite his past, he welcomes human attention with open paws and enjoys the companionship of his favorite humans. Now, let’s talk about Otis’s journey. When he joined us, he had to undergo surgery to remove a collar that was embedded in his body. Can you imagine the trauma he’s faced? 😢 But don't let that fool you – Otis is not looking for pity; he wants understanding and a chance to live freely! He’s got a taste for independence and self-sufficiency, and he’d thrive in a home where he’s the only dog. He’s not interested in rambunctious puppies getting in his space; he prefers a tranquil atmosphere where he can express himself without those furry challenges. He can be a little picky about his friends – just like we all can be! So, if you’re looking for a pal who’d appreciate a calm, structured environment, Otis might just be the right match. 🏡 He needs an owner who understands his confident and independent nature, someone who is ready to offer patience and love while he adjusts to his new surroundings. With consistent training and a routine, Otis is ready to become that loyal companion who'll stay by your side through thick and thin. Now, let’s not forget to share some of Otis's quirks! On the leash, he’s got some power behind him thanks to his past, but with guidance and training, he’s sure to become a well-behaved walking buddy. 🚶‍♂️ He’s still figuring out toys but is excited to learn to play more when he feels comfy in his new home. Crates? Not his favorite, but he’ll go in for a tasty treat! Over time, we’ll work on making that a cozier space for him. 🦴 When it comes to adjusting to a new home, Otis will surely need time and understanding. He’ll be watching you, soaking in the routines and house rules until he feels secure. As he learns and adapts, he’ll blossom into the ultimate cuddle buddy, bringing joy and laughter to your life! 🤗 With him being a special boy, it’s crucial that potential adopters know he requires a physically fenced yard of at least 4 feet tall so he can enjoy the outdoors safely. If Otis sounds like the pup for you, remember – this is not just about a picture or a pretty face. It’s about creating a forever family filled with love.
