Meet Otto, a friendly and well-behaved 1-year-old Belgian Malinois/Anatolian Shepard mix, weighing in at 55 pounds, and looking for his forever home! Otto loves human interaction and everyone he meets, from other dogs and cats to children and adults. Neutered and up-to-date on all his vaccinations, with a chill and even keel personality, making him the perfect pet for a first-time active dog owner.

Otto takes treats gently, will give kisses if you ask, walks well on a leash, is really smart and loves learning new things. He would excel at obedience classes with his new adoptive family and would be a great companion for someone looking for an active and trainable dog. Otto was previously fostered with 8 other dogs in Texas before coming to Minnesota, and did great with his furry friends. He's a social butterfly and loves going to dog parks, playing with toys and balls and going on adventures with his family. Whether it's a hike in the mountains or a trip to the beach, Otto is always ready for a good time. He's also great on walks and loves exploring new places. With his gentle personality and eagerness to please, he's sure to win your heart.
