OTTO
Border Collie / Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · Baby (3 months 20 days) · Male · Medium · West Des Moines, IA
Notes from Hope Animal Rescue of Iowa
Otto is a 16-week-old, male, possible Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix that weighs about 17 lbs. He will likely be a medium to large dog when full grown. Otto and his 6 siblings came from Oklahoma in mid-August.
Otto is a total sweetheart. His favorite things are giving kisses and chasing after his favorite toys. He would do wonderfully in almost any loving home. Because he is so toy-motivated, he will be a breeze to train with games and rewards. If you want a sweet, affectionate companion who loves play hour just as much as lap time, Otto is your guy. He is both crate- and potty-trained. He was recently introduced to short neighborhood walks and is also making great progress on the leash. He has met kids at events and has done well. He has not met cats but should do well with proper introductions.
Siblings: Leonard (M) Harriet (F) Toni (F) Bear (M) Otto (M) Mae (F) Sally (F)
