About Otto in NC

Meet Otto, a 14-year-old Chiweenie looking for a loving home. He's been through a lot, having lost his original owner and sister, but that hasn't dulled his sweet spirit. With his smooth black and tan coat, Otto has a calm personality and those big, loving eyes that tell a story of resilience. Otto needs a home where he can feel secure, so he requires a fenced yard and preferably another senior small dog or cat to keep him company. He thrives in homes with children aged 10 and over who understand a dog’s personal space. Otto enjoys following you around, sharing his life in a peaceful way. Even though he’s missing most of his teeth, he still enjoys his meals and is in good health overall, apart from needing to shed a few pounds. This gentle guy is fully house trained, leash trained, and ready to bring companionship to your home. He deserves a warm, caring environment to spend his golden years. What are you waiting for?
