Otto is a 9 month old, solid liver German Shorthair Pointer. 
He is full of energy and needs a home that will match it! He is currently fostered with 3 pointer siblings and 2 human kiddos under 5. He gets along great with all five. 
Sometimes his grumpy foster sister has to remind him he is in her space but what sister doesn’t! He just backs off and finds something else to do without any issues. 

Otto is a BIG boy for a pointer, he is currently around 75 lbs and is STRONG. His foster is working with him on walking on leash but sometimes his nose leads him on a good pursuit.  She is certain he is making progress and soon will be able to be walked by the 5 year old. 

Speaking of big boy, Otto loves his groceries! Feeding time is probably his second favorite time of the day! Otto has been trained to eat his food in his kennel. 

When he first came in to the rescue, he was an excited jumper for his food. Since then, his foster mom has taught him to “sit” by the food bucket and must go to “bed” before his food will be put down. He gets his water from the universal water hole of the house and everyone gets along there! 

Otto has shown interest in birds in the back yard. The foster has not explored birds with him though, but he is eager to impress and it is certainly possible to train him to hunt for you. Otto does have a full tail and still has his dew claws, so precautionary measures should be taken if he goes to the field. 

Don’t wait on this boy, he is a dream pointer even as the big puppy he is! The weather is beautiful, he will definitely keep up with the perfect outdoors person/family, great with kids, and polite to strangers!

If you would love to meet him, let us know!
