Otto

Adopted 5/14/02
3/19/02 - Otto
is a 65 pound, 5 year old, male
neutered brindle boxer. Otto is a very good dog. He is housebroken and crate
trained. He sleeps in his own crate at night and when we are away from the
house. He knows his basic obedience (when he wants to and isn't too excited)!
Otto lives with
two cats and he is very good with them. He has been exposed to other dogs and he
gets along very well with just about every dog he meets regardless of breed or
sex. He is a very high energy dog that loves to run and play fetch or Frisbee.
He loves to go for walks, but he can't break his slight pulling habit. He is
pretty good off leash, but he loves to run a few laps around the yard before
coming back. He is on heartworm and flea and tick preventative all year round.
He is up-to-date on all of his vaccinations, fecals and heartworm tests. Otto is
a little cautious when approaching
strangers, but at home, he greets everyone with licks and toys, except children
which he just ignores. Otto hasn't ever handled children very well so a home
without small children would be perfect for him. We feel that Otto was abused
or threatened by his first owner. If you approach him too quickly or raise your
voice with him, he cowers down and has shown fearful tendencies.
