I couldn't leave this cute little Puggle behind, so he came home with us. And we still have Rex too. Woof, so many dogs!
So, here's what I can tell you about Otis! Otis is about one years old, and appears to be 50/50 Pug and Beagle (aka Puggle). Otis spent quite some time in the shelter down south because he is heartworm positive and this scares some people. But not JR's. We have treated over 300 heartworm positive dogs, with no issues :) This treatment includes injections at the vet and an overnight stay. Dogs don't always feel great afterwards and may not eat or drink much. They also need to be kept quiet and calm during their treatment, so as not to stress their hearts as the worms are being killed by the medicine. Otis should be starting his treatment soon and will be ready to be healthy and adoptable in no time!
Otis has the Beagle bark and the Pug snorts and grunts. Quite endearing. He likes to be next to you or on your lap. He likes to sleep in funny positions and snore. He likes to follow the other dogs around, but hasn't gotten too playful yet. It could be because Rex and Dexter already have a bond and Otis feels he cannot intervene. Or it could be because he's not feeling the greatest. Who knows. He gets along just fine with the other dogs and the cat in the house. He's mostly about his humans though. He is always right by your side, and comes when called. No matter what you call him! With all the dogs in the house, it's hard to keep track of who is who so he's often called "puggle!" haha. He doesn't care, as long as he gets pets and lovin'.
Otis met a young kiddo today on his walk. He was very good with the child and pawed at him gently to try and initiate play, tail wagging.
Otis' bad habits include, not liking his nails trimmed and an amazing ability to leap into the air, grab the slice of pizza out of your hand, and swallow it in one fell swoop. I was so stunned, I couldn't even reprimand him! And we'll work on the nail trimming, he really needs it!
So what do you think? Can Otis snuggled into your heart and make himself at home? Fill out an application today!
