Here's what the humans have to say about me:
In Trappe
Hi guys! I’m a big 14 month old male puppy and my name is Otter, I think they named me that bc I love being in the water!! Rivers, ponds, streams, puddles, pools, you name it.
You what else I’d love? A family to call my own! What I’m looking for: A quiet, active home who doesn’t have many visitors. I love my aussie foster sister and other dogs once I warm up. People? I don’t like anyone else as it’s my job to protect MY family. If you let strangers in, I may take my job too seriously and try to make them leave by not being so nice. Since I have this trait, I require a meet and greet in Trappe, MD. And my foster mom says my family will have to take me to one-on-one training sessions, which is okay since I’m eager to please and learn!! My new family should have dog behavior knowledge so they can understand me the best they can since I was not well socialized as a puppy and super protective of my people.
I haven’t been tested with kids, but due to my herding instincts and lack of socialization, please NO kids. I’d also love to have a big fenced in yard so I can practice my zoomies off leash!
If you think I’d fit in well with your family, please fill out an adoption application! And bring chicken nuggets when you come to visit:)
