Otto

Alaskan Malamute · Male · Adult · 5 years

09-07-26 Otto is a very handsome boy who originally come to us in November 2024 from a breeder. He was adopted but has sadly been returned to us after his adopters realised he wasn't happy sharing his home with a teenager and did on one occasion lunge towards him. Otto will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult-only home where there are no visiting children and where he can be the only animal in the home. He would be best suited to an adopter who has experience with the breed and has had dogs with similar behaviours. He is such a wonderful boy and truly has so much love to give. He can be aloof when he first meets you, but once he gets to know you his silly and cheeky side emerges. He absolutely loves a fuss and enjoys spending time with his people. He is also very food-orientated, which makes him great fun to train and means he's always keen to learn when there's a tasty reward involved. Otto already walks well on a lead and absolutely loves heading off on walks and adventures and will get so excited when his harness comes out. He is muzzle trained as he can be reactive to other dogs. He is non reactive to most dogs, but if a dog barks at him, he will bark back and if an off lead dog runs over to him he can react and may snap. Due to this he will need an adopter who is happy to continue to support him and manage this when out on walks to ensure he is always kept safe and doesn't get the opportunity to make the wrong decision. As Otto has lived in a home before, he will already be familiar with the sights and sounds of home life. However, as with any dog moving into a new environment, he may need a little reminding of his routine while he settles in. Otto is already proving to be very popular at the rescue and in the right home with adopters who are happy to meet his needs, he will truly thrive and become the most wonderful companion.
