Meet the whimsical, lovable Otie! This charming little guy is a quirky character, boasting a robust personality packed into his 22-pound frame. At around 6 years young, Otie is quite the medium-sized marvel, and his journey into foster care is showing just how much fun and laughter he can bring into your life every single day! 🎉 Otie is your future road trip buddy; there’s nothing he enjoys more than hitting the open road. As your enthusiastic copilot, he’ll be right there, ready for adventure and car rides filled with joy! 🚗💨 His love for tennis balls and squeaky toys knows no bounds, and he proudly parades them around as if they are trophies. While he hasn’t completely mastered the art of ‘drop it’ yet (a mix of stubbornness and delightful playfulness, perhaps?), he makes up for it with his hilarious vocal expressions—who needs a tail to wag when you can entertain with sound? 😂 However, let’s get real for a second. Otie is no ordinary pup; he comes with a few special care needs. He battles allergies that impact his ears and skin. Currently, he's on a regimen of steroids, antibiotics, and ear cream, and his veterinarian has suggested that ongoing monthly medication will likely be necessary to keep him feeling his best. Any potential adopter should be ready for this ongoing commitment, as managing his allergies and possible ear flare-ups is vital to his happiness. 💊 In terms of personality, Otie is a spirited soul full of strong opinions! He has a high prey drive—just ask the chickens—and won’t fit well in homes with small animals or young children. Sharing is just not his style; if Otie wants a toy, rest assured, he will do everything in his power to claim it! When it comes to other dogs, he can thrive with the right match, needing slow introductions and a calm, tolerant canine friend. His foster sibling? They’re making it work, but it’s required patience and healthy boundaries to get there! 🐾 While Otie's personality shines with stubbornness, determination, and endless charm, he might not be the right fit for everyone. But in the right home—one that understands his quirks, is willing to stay on top of his allergy management, and can provide the structure he desires—Otie will flourish into the most loyal, entertaining, and amusing companion you could wish for. 🌟 If you're ready to embrace Otie's fantastic journey and quirks, please remember: apply today through the Buddy App!
