About Otis Fka Taylor

Otis, once known as Taylor, is a goofy, dignified young gentleman who’s all about the good life. He’s lived as a stray, but that hasn’t dimmed his cheerful nature one bit. Otis is irresistibly optimistic: he lights up around new people, absolutely loves kids, and is always happy to romp with other dogs. If he can be beside a friend—canine or human—he feels safest. Big, lanky, tall, and sporting a signature Boxer face with a Dane's body (and don’t forget that snaggletooth), Otis is the very picture of a lovable, handsome clown. He’s handled the transition to rescue life like a champ. He’s still getting used to his kennel, but does much better when a dog buddy is nearby. Potty training is almost in the bag—any slipups have been more human than hound. Eager to play, dash outside for zoomies, or hang and explore, Otis takes on every adventure with a brave, curious spirit. He’s looking for someone ready for a loyal, upbeat companion who’s always game for fun. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
