About Otis

Meet Otis! This 5-month-old Basset Hound mix is a bundle of joy packed into a cute, chunky body with short legs. With his unique black-and-white Harlequin markings, he almost resembles a playful little character from a comic strip, and those fluffy ears? Absolutely adorable! Otis has a lively personality that draws everyone in. He’s social, goofy, and full of love, making him the kind of puppy who can light up any room. He enjoys playing with other dogs and thrives on social interaction, making him a delightful companion. Coming to us as an owner surrender, Otis is still learning the ropes of puppy manners and needs a family that understands the patience required during this phase. House training is a work in progress, and consistent training will be crucial for him. We envision him in a forever home where he can receive positive reinforcement training, daily exercise, and plenty of playtime. He would be happy as a second dog alongside a playful companion or as an only pet in an active household that can devote time to his needs. Though we estimate he will grow to around 25 pounds, his unique mix leaves some mystery! If you are looking for a fun-loving sidekick to fill your life with laughter and adventure, Otis is ready to bring joy to your home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
