Otis is a very interesting mix of bassett hound and some sort of wire-haired terrier. He is probably between 1-1/2 and 2 years old and he weighs around 45 pounds. He is the sweetest guy and just a bundle of personality and love. He is housebroken and crate-trained and he loves to be close to his people. Otis is very social! He plays well with other dogs, and he is good with children and adults. He will walk up and sniff the cat, but does not try to hurt her. Otis is a very smart boy, too. He seems to learn new things very quickly. We are working on ‘sit’ and ‘off’ commands. He also walks well on leash. Taking him to a positive-reinforcement obedience class would be a wonderful bonding experience!
Otis has been neutered and is up-to-date on his shots, so now all he needs is a great forever family of his very own.
Otis is a medium-energy kind of guy and he would love to have a fenced yard so he has a safe place to play with his new family. He needs to get adequate exercise daily to stay healthy and happy, and he would be especially happy to go on long walks every day with his new family.
If you think Otis might be the perfect pup for you, please go to www.allamericanmuttrescue.org, click on Forms/Application and complete your adoption application online. Please remember that pet adoption is a 10-15 year commitment, so we do not take shortcuts in processing these applications. It takes an average of 7 days to process the application including reference checks, follow-up questions and home visits.
When your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if Otis picks you too. If it seems like the adoption will be a good match for all, there is an adoption fee, and an adoption contract to be signed. Please feel free to email weluvpups@hotmail.com or call 434 841 0411 or 540 297 1590 if you have additional questions.
