Adoption Info: Adoption includes neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, microchip with lifetime registration, and professional "take home training" with Pinnacle GSD.

Animal History: Otis was purchased from a breeder and raised from a puppy in a family home. Unfortunately as an adolescent he started behaving territorially in the home and with an elderly person with dementia living in the home, the family made the difficult decision to rehome him. Otis received professional training with Pinnacle Training and is currently boarding at Pinnacle GSD in Aberdeen until a suitable adopter can be found. Otis is a courtesy post and has not been evaluated by Dog Gone Seattle. Please apply online or email jenny@doggoneseattle.org for more information.
