Otis - Saint Bernard Dog for Adoption in Golden, Colorado

Hi, I'm Otis! I'm a 5 year old, 109 lb. Saint Bernard, and while I may take up a whole lot of physical space, I promise my favorite place to be is right next to the people I love!
I'm a very sweet boy who absolutely loves affection. If you're looking for a gentle giant who will happily soak up all the love you have to give, I'm ready for the job. My dream home is a cozy one where I can relax with my people, enjoy some quiet time, and know that I'm safe and loved.

I do have one important thing to tell you about myself. I'm happiest as the only pet in the home. I have a history of resource guarding my food from other dogs, and this has unfortunately led to altercations. Because of this, I need a home without dogs or cats where I don't have to worry about sharing my space or my meals.

Honestly, I think being your one and only sounds pretty wonderful anyway! More couch space. More attention. More opportunities for me to remind you that I am, in fact, a very handsome boy.

I'd do best with kids 8 and older who understand that even though I love people, sometimes I need a little space for myself. I promise that when I'm ready for affection, you'll know because I'll be right there hoping for some extra love.

I'm a big dog with an even bigger heart, and what I really want is pretty simple: a family of my own, a cozy home, and someone who will love me as much as I'll love them.
If you have room in your heart for one very special gentle giant, I think we might just be a perfect match!

My adoption fee is $295 and I'm neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.

The Saint Bernard is a large and gentle dog breed known for its loyalty, affectionate nature, and impressive strength. Originating from the Swiss Alps, these dogs were historically used as rescue dogs due to their keen sense of smell and ability to navigate through harsh terrain. With their iconic droopy jowls, expressive eyes, and massive build, Saint Bernards make wonderful family pets, often forming strong bonds with children and adults alike. Their calm demeanor and easygoing attitude make them a favored choice for those seeking a devoted and loving companion.
