Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IDGSR Welcomes OTIS into the safety of the rescue!!
THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT
**************
Howdy! My name is Otis and I'm a handsome 11-month old male German Shepherd. I am located in Greeneville Tennessee and am available for local adoption.
--> Here are 7 fun facts about me & my ideal home! <--
1. Sadly, joining the rescue makes this my 4th home in my short 11-months of life. I found myself in a scary shelter but thankfully I've been rescued & am ready for my forever home!
2. I'm house & kennel trained! I play GREAT with other dogs, both male & female, big & small! Do you have another pupper in the home? Great! With proper introductions, we will be fast friends!
3. I'd love to learn some obedience commands. I'm super smart & eager to please! Help train me to be the bestest boy ever!
4. I am affectionate, playful, energetic, and always down for adventures.
5. I really want a person or family to finally call my own and treat me as a cherished member of the family. Will it be with you?
6. Do you like walking or hiking? Me too! It would be great to go out on some trails and explore. Do you like going to Starbucks? I would love a pup-cup!
7. I love to play with toys, explore in the yard, and follow my foster mom around.
