My story

　　Hi, my name is Otis and my mom met up with a handsome stranger one night and created me. I am a Brittany/Lab/maybe some Harrier mix.  I am a neutered liver/white 52 lb 2 ½  yr old male.  Now just because I am 50 lbs, I consider myself small, as I want to cuddle and lay my head in your lap and be your lap baby boy.  I love everyone and everybody.  I am having fun playing with my 4-legged foster cousin,  he gets dropped off to babysit. I am healthy, but my ears do need cleaning, so I don’t get an ear infection. My foster mom says I am an old soul in a young body. I am house broken, crate trained, thou uggg, don’t I look cute enough not to hide in that crate.  I promise I will be a good boy.  I am utd on vaccines and on HW/FT prevention. 

　　Even the vet thinks I am a sweet goofy boy.   I am happy go lucky.  My 2-legged dad died and I was his dog, but my 2-legged mom felt she couldn’t take care of me and her other dog, so turned me over to NBRAN to find me a loving forever home.  I do need a physical 5 to 6 ft fence, which is not chain-link.  My foster mom discovered that I could climb it and go have fun on the other side.  To say the least she was not happy with me and reported it to the NBRAN family.  I feel I should wander and be friends with everyone.  Kind of important in my eyes, don’t you think? 

　　I am not sure if I am good with cats,  I was just hanging out next door and trotted behind one in the next yard, didn’t chase it or bark at it.  NBRAN was told I was around cats, but they can’t deem me cat friendly.  I love chews and toys.  Lots of treats, yummy.   I do need some work on a leash, as I want to get somewhere, so I do pull.

　　My New Year home wish is finding someone who will love me unconditionally and forever.
