About Otis *On Trial in His New Home*
*OTIS IS TRIALING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* If you’re looking for a wonderful companion with a smile that could light up a room then you can’t go past Otis!
Adorable Otis is a super friendly Staffy who puts 110% enthusiasm into everything he does, from greeting his beloved humans to playing in the yard! He’s your typical affectionate, human-loving Staffy who thrives on pats and attention! He does get excited when he first sees you and can jump up but he soon relaxes and is quite chilled out – when you are home he really enjoys spending time lazing around inside on his dog bed. Having not lived with children we would recommend a home where they are school-aged or older with some dog experience as Otis may accidentally bowl the littlies over with his playful exuberance plus he’ll need someone to throw his much-loved ball! Otis enjoys playing with his toys, especially his tennis balls, and is always up for a game of fetch with anyone who wants to join in.
Surrendered due to the older male Staffy he was living with constantly picking fights with poor Otis we reckon he’d be happiest in a home as the only dog. He loves going for walks wearing a harness; he starts out strong though before long settles into a more manageable pace. At 27.5kgs Otis is quite chunky for an English Staffy so daily walks should help him shed that extra kilo or two plus all that walking will be terrific for both of you!
Otis is a smart cookie; he sits for his dinner, shakes hands, has great recall, and would do anything for a Schmacko or two if you’d like to do some further training with him. On hot summer days he loves to cool off in his pool.
Given that Staffies are happiest being with their humans and they shed little hair, we’d like to see Otis’s indoor / outdoor lifestyle continued in his forever home – he’s always slept inside at night. Secure fencing, bones to chew on and lots of love will make Otis very happy indeed!

Adoption details
Please Note: SARG and our animals for adoption are located in Mildura in North-West Victoria.
Our adoption process commences with completing an Application form which you'll find at: www.sarg.net.au
The Application is then reviewed, references checked and a yard check done, then, if there are no issues, a meet and greet is organised. If all goes well the last stage is a 28 day home-trial to make sure that everyone is happy.
If the trial is successful our “stray” is then officially considered adopted and the microchip transferred into the new owners name.
If anything goes wrong SARG will always take back one of our animals :)
