OTTO – A BIG PUPPY
Otto is a very handsome boy! When he arrived at the pound he was petrified of people and really didn’t know how to handle himself but within a short amount of time he’s decided he just can’t get enough kisses and cuddles. He also gives the best hugs ever!
During the 1,5 years at the pound he has shared cages with several other dogs, males and females, many have all been adopted, but poor Otto is still waiting for his turn… at the moment he share a cage with six other dogs without any problems.
He already knows how to sit and give his paw and he gives the best cuddles. He is good on the lead on walks and does not seem bothered by cars, people or other dogs passing by.
Being a mastin cross, he would need a home with outside space.
Otto went to the town of Los Barrios in October 2023 with his friend Café. He sat in the back seat of the car with a volunteer and was just perfect, sitting calmly, during the car journey. Upon arriving at the town, he happily jumped out and went exploring. What a treat to see nice green grass!! He was interested in what was going on around him but took everything in stride. He was great on the lead and would happily walk or sit for a treat or a cuddle. At the end of the day, he jumped back in the car, not realising that these few hours of freedom were about to end, and he would go back to his cage
Otto is a lovely, gentle, affectionate boy that deserves so much more than the life he has, so please make an appointment and come and take him for a walk and see for yourself how truly wonderful he is
Otto is available for adoption in Germany, UK, Sweden, Finland, Holland, Spain and many other countries. Homecheck and adoption fee apply. Adoption fee includes neutering, passport, microchip, all vaccinations, blood tests to screen for diseases, worm and flea treatment.Adoption cost in Spain (if no transport required) 155€ for males and €165 for females.
Adoption costs to the UK are £570. This includes all DEFRA paperwork and transport by DEFRA registered carrier ( using the TRACES system) direct to your door, except London, within the M25 motorway, Highlands of Scotland beyond Perth, and all off islands (if we cannot deliver direct, a mutually convenient meeting place will be arranged). We sort out all the arrangements and delivery/ meeting times will be advised in advance by the transporter.
For dogs brought to the UK by SSDUK to go initially into foster care, adopters will still be required to pay the full adoption fee of £570 to cover the above expenses.
In some cases, for example a failed adoption of a dog already in the UK, the fee may be reduced to £320 where the initial transport costs from Spain have already been met. This is to cover transport within the UK, kennel fees and any checks required.
