explaining your family situation and why you think you would be a good fit for him

OTIS is a one year old, 10 pound mixed breed boy...possibly a mix of Schnauzer, Maltese, and Shih Tzu is our best guess...with a cute little underbite! He is your typical energetic pup and loves both people and other dogs in his temporary foster home.

He loves being outside so a fenced yard would be a plus for his enjoyment and safety. Also...another young dog in his new home would be wonderful...or if he is an "only child"...he would love getting all the attention!

OTIS is learning about housetraining with his foster mom at home with him during the day. A stay-at-home or works-from-home new owner who would be home with him during the day and could keep him on a schedule is desired.

Since coming into rescue... OTIS has required the following vet care: he has been neutered, had a dental scaling, had his blood panel checked, had a fecal check, been microchipped, received his distemper combo with lepto and booster, bordetella, and rabies vaccines. He is on heartworm and flea/tick preventative.

His adoption fee is $500 and will include (all new) collar, leash, harness. toys, crate, and food...and more!

Thanks for wanting to "Rescue One"!!!
