About Otis
Otis is a sweet and shy boy looking for a loving forever home. This terrier and Shetland Sheepdog mix is about one year old and weighs around 19 lbs. He does well with other dogs and would thrive in a home that has a friendly resident dog to help him feel secure. Otis was rescued from a hoarding situation, so he needs a patient adopter who can introduce him to the world at his own pace. He's not yet socialized with cats or kids but we're happy to discuss integration techniques with interested adopters. Living now in a foster home in the Washington, DC area, Otis yearns for a place filled with snuggles and new experiences. He's ready to become a cherished part of a family, showing his love and gratitude in return. Introducing him gently to new people, sights, and sounds will help him blossom into the confident dog he’s meant to be. If you’re ready to give this sweet boy the nurturing home he deserves, come see if you’re the right match!
