About Otter Pup

Personality: Affectionate, Friendly, Playful, Funny

Otter Pup, our 31 pound 5 month old puppy, is working his way through our internship program. Being an intern is a pretty cushy gig. Sure, Otter Pup doesn't get paid, but he does get room and board and plenty of snacks. He's ready to graduate and is seeking his residency program (aka his own family).

Found stray and injured, we suspect Otter Pup was hit by a car. He sustained a broken leg so we took him in from the shelter. Although very bad at dodging traffic, Otter Pup is excellent at healing, and now he's ready to do all the same things other puppies can do.

At home, Otter Pup has been practicing being a dog. Potty training? B - so far but he's trying. Crate training? A solid C+. Cuddling and friendliness is where Otter Pup excels. All attention is good attention in Otter Pup's books, including baths. Otter Pup also is great on a leash and is very up for adventures around town.

Otter Pup is learning how to share toys and treats with other dogs and how to make new dog friends. He's getting the hang of it! Like most 5 month old puppies, Otter Pup can be mischievous - he can open doors and cupboards and finds his own antics amusing. Interns aren't expected to be experts in their field, so we're giving Otter Pup some grace. He just needs to keep building his resume.

Otter Pup is current on his flea and heartworm preventatives. He is neutered, microchipped and vaccinated. We don't know Otter Pup's breed mix, but based on his current size, he's expected to be about 50 pounds fully grown.

Have a clicker and a bag of treats but not sure what to do with them? May we suggest taking on a new hire?
