Otto, formerly Joey, was rescued from the Modesto shelter after being placed on the euthanasia list for that night simply due to overcrowding. He did nothing wrong to land himself on that list, but black dogs tend to get overlooked and adolescent large dogs are the most at-risk. Despite the odds stacked against him, this young, lively boy is so deserving of his second chance.

Since coming to live with his foster fam and two furry foster siblings, he has been learning sit, down and stay so far. He’s such a fast learner! His leash skills have greatly improved and he is a joy on his daily walks. He has also been on so many new adventures! He LOVES snow shoeing and hiking with his foster family.

From his fosters:

He is a great outdoor dog but also an amazing snuggle bug at home. The perfect combo! He’s also fine with a good 15-30 minute walk and can chill out when he gets home. We have been working on crate training and it’s going great! He sleeps in his crate at night and when we are out of the house. Otto loves every single human he meets! He loves to jump and give hugs but we are working on that.

He also loves other dogs and gets very excited to see them. With the right introduction, he would do great with a buddy to play with in his new home! He would also be great as an only dog.

Otto is being fostered in SACRAMENTO, CA
Estimated DOB: 9/1/2021

Interested in adopting?
1. Please complete our online form at heartsforpawsrescue.com/adoption-application
2. We will respond in 1-3 days for a call!
3. If it sounds like a potential match for you and the dog of interest, we will promptly set up a meet and greet at the foster home

Please note we are a foster-based rescue meaning our dogs are in individual foster homes throughout sac and the bay. For this reason we may only be able to schedule meets for one dog at a time (or litter). The average timeline between app submission and a meet and greet is 3-5 days. Please only submit an application for a specific dog if you are ready to adopt that animal within a week's time.
