Otter is ready for a new home and willing to share hoodies with you or your teenagers

Hi, my name is Otter and I am waiting patiently at the Humane Society for a new, forever home. I have been enjoying life for about 1.5 years and already know commands like sit, shake, and down. I am ready to learn more tricks, so be thinking of some you’d like to teach me. I am a beautiful brown brindle mix, and I shouldn’t be more than about 44 pounds fully grown. I am great at catching tennis balls and when I’m not out playing in the yard with you, I can be content playing with my toys. I enjoy meeting new people, especially if they have treats to share. I would prefer being the only pet in the home and I do better with high school age or older children…probably because I can share their clothes. I would love to meet you, share a treat, play a little catch, and then watch as you fill out the adoption papers.
