About Otto

Meet Otto! Otto sports a handsome Mohawk that adds a touch of flair to his personality. This affectionate cuddle bug thrives on human companionship, curious about his surroundings while showcasing a sweet, gentle demeanor. With basic obedience skills like sitting and leash walking already under his belt, he’s off to a great start. Though he’s crate-trained, Otto might have the occasional accident as he adjusts to new places. While he’s active and playful, he can be a bit shy at first and will need some encouragement. He has a stubborn streak, so a consistent routine will help him flourish. Otto is selective with his doggy friends, requiring thoughtful introductions to ensure harmony with other pets. He enjoys the occasional dig in the yard, so keeping an eye on his landscaping ambitions is a must! If you value a loving, slightly quirky companion and can provide the time he needs to adjust, Otto could be your perfect match!
