PERSONALITY & BEHAVIORS
Otto is such a sweetheart! He's playful with dogs, loves to play fetch, and has been a perfect gentleman with the cat in his foster home.

Although Otto can be shy around people at first, he warms up quickly. He is affectionate and sometimes likes to crawl on a nearby lap for a nap. And he's a leaner!

An athletic pup, Otto loves being outside, and is looking for someone who wants to take him on regular walks and hikes. Good on a leash, he is attentive and responsive.

Otto is thrilled when he sees other dogs and easily makes new dog friends! He would love sharing his forever home with another young, playful buddy, as he adores romping with the dog in his foster home.

He'd also do well in a home with older children.

Otto's favorite things are rolling in the grass and belly rubs. He also enjoys car rides, is house-trained, and sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep. He is quiet and respectful in the house and rarely barks.

PHYSICAL
A handsome pup, Otto is mostly black, with white on his face, chest, lower legs, and the tip of his tail, and is likely a Border Collie mix. He's slim, with perky ears and brown eyes.

HEALTH
Otto is up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, neutered, and heartworm negative.

HISTORY
Otto was found as a stray and brought to a local shelter.
