Oh, let me introduce you to Otis! 🌟 This dapper gentleman is a spirited **2-year-old** American Staffordshire Terrier mix, weighing in at a lovable **50 pounds**. His past was a little rocky; after being adopted as a puppy, he found himself back in an overcrowded Houston shelter battling a severe skin condition. But fear not! His incredible foster family has worked wonders, bringing back his confidence and spirit with a stunning, shiny coat that he proudly shows off. Otis embodies resilience and joy. Imagine a cheerful companion who brightens up the room! He’s sweet, a tad goofy, and has a heart filled to the brim with love. If you dare to stop petting him before he’s had his fill, prepare for a gentle paw to remind you—"Hey, don’t stop now!" 🐾 This lovely fellow pays close attention to positive reinforcement and has an earnest desire to make his humans smile. Do you have other dogs? Well, Otis is a true social butterfly! 🦋 He’s got fabulous manners and respects boundaries, playing like a champ with his furry friends of all sizes. Sure, he may be a little shy at first when meeting new canine pals, but he warms up quickly and would absolutely adore having a doggy sibling in his forever home. Otis strikes the perfect balance between playtime and chill time. Whether it’s zooming around the yard or curling up on the couch, he’s your guy. He walks like a dream on a leash—though there may be some excited pulling in the beginning—but that only adds to his charm. 🚶‍♂️ Whether it’s a quick car ride or a leisurely stroll, he’s always down for an adventure! And yes, he even enjoys bath time like the true gentleman he is. 🛁 In the home, Otis is a star! He’s fully housebroken and crate trained, though he’d much prefer to be near his humans. He has shown no signs of separation anxiety or resource guarding. For some extra calm during meal times, he’s fed separately. While Otis hasn't been around cats, we’re unsure how he’d interact with them. And since he has a bit of enthusiasm—and may jump around—dog-savvy older children would be the best fit for this lovebug. Overall, Otis is a bundle of joy waiting to enrich the life of the right family. With endless love and laughter to give, alongside his adorable paw grabs and goofy antics, he’s ready to find his forever home! ❤️ Meet this magnificent fellow and let the love story begin!
