About Otis

Meet Otis! This remarkable mixed breed and hound blend is ready to find his forever home. At around 4 years old and weighing 85 lbs, Otis has journeyed from a stray to a cherished member of our rescue. After spending over six months on the streets, he is finally learning to trust humans again and is eager for the love and stability that a dedicated family can provide. Otis can be a bit shy at first, but with some quiet patience and a few tasty treats, he'll quickly show his loyal and snuggly side. He adores companionship and bonds deeply with those he trusts. Otis has a playful spirit too—he enjoys zoomies, playing with toys, and has recently discovered the joy of fetch! He thrives in a calm environment, especially around dogs that share his laid-back demeanor, and would do best in an adult-only home or one with older teenagers. Otis also has the potential to get along with cats, and we're happy to arrange a cat test for serious adopters. Otis has faced a lot but carries an incredible spirit, and he will undoubtedly bring joy to whoever chooses to welcome him into their life. If you're looking for a companion who will make you laugh and feel loved, Otis is your guy! Ready to make her your new best friend? Click apply to start the adoption process.
