About Otis

Meet Otis, a delightful puppy currently looking for a loving home. At just 12 weeks old and weighing 14 lbs, he has already discovered the joys of being a lap dog. After a brief stay with a toy poodle foster sibling, he's all about snuggling, curling up, and enjoying a good rock in a cozy chair after meals. Otis is an eager learner. He’s quick to pick up commands, such as "sit," but is still mastering potty training after spending most of his early life outside. He’s good with other dogs and enjoys playtime, though he’s still figuring out when enough is enough. His charm extends to cats too; while he finds them interesting, he doesn’t fixate on them. In his foster home, Otis has adapted well around family members using motorized wheelchairs, showing respect and understanding. He does wonderfully with older kids (8+) and likely would do well with younger ones. However, be aware that he finds baby toys suspicious and might bark at them! This affectionate little guy is ready to embrace family life, and he’s neutered and up to date on vaccinations. If you’re interested in giving Otis a forever home, please direct inquiries to his current caretaker. Adoption applications can be filled out at https://form.jotform.com/261465065914056.
