Otto
Pointer / Mixed (short coat) · Young · Male · Powell, OH
Notes from Powell Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)
Hi there, I’m Otto! I’m a 9-month-old hound pup. I am currently 42 lbs and should mature around 52 lbs. I have lots of cute little spots all over me, which are brown on my legs and black on my body.
I came from a shelter in southern Ohio after I was found as a stray with my brothers, Freddy Mercury and Prongs (yes, we have an eclectic group of names). We had been dropped off in a “holler” together. All three of us are adoptable through PAWS now though.
I love playing with all doggy friends, including running around with Freddy. I haven’t met a cat yet, but Prongs is good with them and I can be cat tested. I also haven’t met any children yet, but I should be fine with older children (unsure about young children yet). I walk well on leash and just started learning about potty and crate training. Sometimes I get hesitant in new environments that are loud, like when walking near traffic or crowds, so I could use a little more confidence building work. I saw some horses and was initially tentative, but I followed a brave dog friend past them. I went to a pond and jumped right in the water- that was fun. I am an outgoing and happy boy when I’m at home or in quieter places.
Hope to meet you soon!
Otto
