Otis

Otis – Smart, Social & Ready for Adventure

Otis is a 5‑month‑old Border Collie x Bull Arab pup with a bright mind, a big heart and an enthusiasm for life that’s impossible not to love. He and his siblings came from a chaotic environment with little structure, arriving underweight and with poor coat condition, but Otis has bounced back beautifully with care, routine and good nutrition.

Where his brother Milo is sensitive and unsure, Otis is the confident, social member of the litter. He enjoys meeting people, seeks out affection, and loves being close — he’s the pup who happily puts his paws up for hugs and leans in for connection.

What Otis Needs An active, engaged home — he’s a working‑breed mix with energy, brains and drive. Daily physical and mental enrichment to keep his clever mind satisfied. A family who includes him in their day‑to‑day life, not just watches from the sidelines. Supervised interactions with other friendly dogs — he enjoys canine company and should have no issues mixing with sociable pals. Structure, routine and predictability to help him continue building confidence and security.

Where He’s At Now

Otis is highly trainable and eager to learn. He thrives on positive reinforcement, enjoys toys, games and enrichment activities, and loves the opportunity to stretch his legs and go full zoomie mode. He’s agile, speedy and full of personality — the kind of pup who will excel with guidance, consistency and opportunities to use both his brain and body.

Despite his rough start, Otis is affectionate, people‑oriented and ready to bond deeply with his new family. With the right home, he’ll grow into a loyal, active companion who brings joy, fun and plenty of cuddles.

Why Otis Is Special

He’s smart, social, affectionate and energetic — a wonderful mix of heart and drive. Otis is looking for a family who will embrace his enthusiasm, nurture his potential and give him the structured, loving environment he deserves.
