Story

My adoption fee is lowered to $125 in honor of the DRHS`s 125th Birthday anniversary!This handsome boy is Otis! Otis already knows some basic commands, like “sit” and “paw,” and has been working hard on his leash manners with our volunteers. He isn’t picky about his treats, which makes him a great candidate for continued training and learning new skills!Otis is a wonderful dog all around. He enjoys baths, spending time with people, hanging out with some dogs, soaking up the sunshine, and going on long walks. While Otis has successfully lived with another dog in the past, he has shown us that he can be dog selective. He has done well in playgroup with lower-energy dogs and may do best with a canine companion who matches his energy and personality.Otis has so much potential and would love a family willing to continue helping him learn and grow. With his sweet personality, love of people, and eagerness to learn, Otis could be a wonderful addition to the right home!
