Description

Otto is approximately 4 years and 9 months old, weighs 21kg and is currently in Wiltshire. A much-loved family dog since May 2023, he sadly needs a new home due to a significant change in his family’s circumstances. Otto is a kind, affectionate boy who loves people and cuddles. Intelligent and motivated by food, he enjoys training and has particularly excelled at mantrailing — following a person’s scent to find them. He would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys countryside walks, scent games and relaxing together afterwards. At home, Otto is crate trained and sleeps well overnight. He can currently be left comfortably for up to four hours, settling in his crate with a toy and a treat. He loves carrying his toys around and stretching out on the sofa beside his people. His ideal home: • An active, patient family in a quiet rural setting. • A large, securely enclosed garden. • Daily walks, mental stimulation and time to rest. • No cats or small furry animals. Otto enjoys two walks a day, usually lasting 40–60 minutes each, although outings need adjusting when he becomes overstimulated. He loves travelling in the car and exploring new places, but busy roads and built-up areas worry him. He enjoys regular group walks with familiar dogs and has stayed happily with his dog walker’s own dogs. However, he can be anxious towards unfamiliar dogs on walks. Any potential home with another dog would need careful assessment and introductions. He can also react to rattling trailers and ridden horses. Otto has a strong prey drive and is walked on a lead or long line using a secure three-point harness. He enjoys off-lead exercise in securely enclosed dog fields. He is a clever boy who can open doors and help himself to food left on counters, so sensible precautions are needed! Otto has had no reported health problems during his time with his family and is up to date with vaccinations and worming. He has had an adverse reaction to Drontal Plus; his current worming treatment and care routine will be discussed with prospective adopters. Otto has so much love to give. We are looking for someone who will enjoy his affectionate, adventurous nature and offer patient support where he needs it. Please contact Stronger Together Animal Rescue (STAR), telling us a little about your household, lifestyle and experience with dogs.
