About Ottis
Meet Ottis, a 1-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix with a big heart and an even bigger personality. This sweet boy is on the lookout for a forever home where he can share his joyful energy, loving cuddles, and playful spirit with a family who will adore him just as much as he'll adore them.
Ottis is a happy, affectionate pup who gets along well with other dogs, particularly female dogs, and would thrive in a home with a canine sister to keep him company. He's the kind of dog who brings light and laughter wherever he goes, with his playful antics and zest for life. Ottis loves to run around and play, making him a great match for an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures. Whether it's chasing a ball in the yard, going for a hike, or just having a good old romp in the park, Ottis is always up for some fun.
While Ottis is a bundle of joy, he's still learning the ropes when it comes to manners and obedience, as he hasn't had much training yet. He's a bright and eager learner, though, and with some time and patience, he's sure to blossom into a well-behaved companion. His new family should be ready to invest in his training and help guide him as he matures into a confident and well-rounded dog.
Ottis would be a great fit for a family with children who understand the importance of giving him space and time to settle in. He needs a calm and understanding environment where he can build trust and feel secure. Once he's comfortable, Ottis is incredibly affectionate and will happily snuggle up with you on the couch for some quality cuddle time. His gentle nature and loving personality make him a wonderful companion who just wants to be close to his people.
Despite his need for some training and adjustment time, Ottis is a true gem. He's the kind of dog who will quickly become a cherished member of the family, offering endless love, loyalty, and companionship. If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and affectionate dog who's ready to join in on all your family's adventures, Ottis might just be the perfect match for you.

Adoption details
BARC adoption officers will work with you to help you find a dog or cat that matches your needs, they will discuss things like yard fencing, exercise requirements, other pets and family members, lifestyle factors, and breed experience. To help make this as quick and easy as possible, we ask you complete and adoption questionnaire (located on our website, or you can complete on when you visit). This helps ensure that we are introducing you to the most suitable animals we have available.
We encourage all members of the household to attend a meet and greet with a pet prior to adopting an animal. If the animal being adopted is a dog, we will also require existing dogs in the household to attend the shelter as part of the meet and greet.
Holds can not be placed on animals over the phone, and can only be applied at the discretion of management.
