MYM Canine-ality:
Goofball

I’m a fun-loving, happy-all-the-time, glass-is-half-full kind of dog looking for someone who loves to laugh and play around. Must have a great sense of humor and some time to spend with me. I’m a dog on a mission to please you. (Socially motivated)

Big fan of: You! A stranger is just a BFF Otis hasn’t met yet. Extra-social Otis loves attention from people and can’t get enough snuggles. He also enjoys retrieving tennis balls and taking long walks.
Not a fan of: The sound of skateboards or other rolling objects—Otis thinks they’re scary—and enduring rough play at the hands of kids. (Otis should live with teens and adults only.)
Special features: Otis knows Sit, Down, Shake and more, and he would love to spend time with you learning more cool stuff in exchange for a tasty treat. A perennial staff favorite, Otis has been described as “everything a person could want in a dog.” Though he’ll need a refresher in his new home, Otis is housebroken. He also has an irresistibly goofy and sweet face that will melt your heart each time he looks at you!
Other reasons he’s special: Otis was rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement Agents in 2002 as a puppy. He found his way into a loving home soon after, but eight years later his heartbroken family was forced to give him up. He sees his role in life as being a beloved family member, and he can’t wait to be someone’s loyal best friend again.
Dream home: A teens-and-up family with lots of love for a gentleman of a certain age would suit Otis just fine. Otis has lived with cats and is interested in other dogs. If you’re interested: Please call our Animal Placement department in New York City at (212) 876-7700, ext. 4900.
