Meet Otto, the tiny tornado of charm and sass. Don't let his size fool you—this 9-month-old Maltese mix packs plenty of personality into his fluffy frame. At about 11 to 12 pounds, Otto is still finding his place in the world and likes to do things his own way. Sometimes he'll be the party's energy source; other times, you’ll find him leading a canine conference in the backyard with his dog friends. Otto’s had a rough go sharing a home with young kids and would rather not repeat it—grabby hands just aren't his scene. He thrives with families who respect his boundaries and can offer both playtime and down time. Otto adores other dogs, but he’s clear that little humans under ten shouldn’t be part of his crew. He’s working on his puppy manners and will need a home that’s patient as he grows and learns. If you want a sidekick who’s equal parts spunky and snuggly—with a dash of sass—Otto is waiting in La Verne, CA for someone who gets him. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
