Otis is a large, male dog, approximately 1 year and 2 months old. He is neutered and his vaccinations are up to date. While he does not have any special needs, he is currently in Danville, IN, and ready to find a loving home to help him thrive.

About Otis

Otis is a sweet, somewhat timid dog who was found running scared. Rescued with care by the folks at West Central Indiana Dog Recovery, he entered the shelter through a humane trap due to his fear of humans. Despite his rocky start, Otis displays immense potential, although he sometimes struggles with confidence. He’s watchful and clever, choosing to maintain his distance until he feels truly safe. Now at around two to three years old, Otis seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. He will be neutered soon and is being offered for foster care so he can continue to decompress and grow in confidence. If you think you could be the one to help him blossom, visit the shelter or give them a call today!
