About Otto

Meet Otto, a lively 9-month-old hound mix who’s full of energy and charm. Weighing in at 42 lbs, he’s expected to grow to about 52 lbs. Otto has a unique coat with delightful spots—brown on his legs and black on his body—making him quite the looker. Otto was rescued from a shelter in southern Ohio, having been found as a stray with his brothers, Freddy Mercury and Prongs. He's playful and enjoys running around with his buddies, showcasing his friendly nature. While he hasn’t met cats yet, he’s open to a cat test, and with older kids, he’ll likely flourish (younger children are still a question mark). He walks nicely on a leash and has started his potty and crate training journey. Loud environments make him a bit hesitant, so he’d benefit from some confidence-building exercises. He’s adventurous too—he dove right into a pond when given the chance! Otto is just looking for a loving home to help him grow. Could that be yours?
