Otto

My story

Otto is a four-year-old, 80-pound German Shepherd whose journey has been anything but easy. He was found several years ago in one of our partner’s warehouses, malnourished and surviving on garbage. Despite his rough start, Otto showed incredible resilience and strength. Once at Home Fur Good, it became clear that he needed emergency surgery, which likely saved his life. After recovering in a medical foster home, Otto was adopted by his foster, but sadly, due to health issues, they can no longer care for him. Otto is intelligent, loyal, and eager to please, but his past has left him with some reactivity. He has worked extensively with trainer Jereme Paddock of Paddock’s Paws and completed a board-and-train program, learning many valuable skills. Otto would thrive in a calm, structured environment with an experienced adopter who understands reactive dogs and is committed to continuing his training. He’s a very good boy who already knows so much. He just needs someone patient and dedicated to help him feel safe and confident. Otto’s loyal heart is waiting for the person who will see beyond his challenges and give him the stable, loving home he’s always deserved. With time, guidance, and love, Otto will be a steadfast and devoted companion. Otto’s adoption fee of $250 covers essential services such as spaying/neutering, vaccinations, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment to meet Otto by calling 602-971-1334. You can also visit us Thursday through Saturday from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm when we are open for walk-ins.
