More about Ottis

Meet our big softie, Ottis!

Ottis came to Battersea after his previous owners could no longer care for him. He’s a sensitive lad who can be a little unsure with new people at first, but with a gentle approach he soon shows his sweet, affectionate side. Once he trusts you, he loves a fuss and really enjoys spending time with his favourite humans!

Life in kennels has been stressful for Ottis, so he’s looking for a calm, patient home where he can settle in slowly. He’s a playful boy who likes other dogs but can feel overwhelmed by very bouncy ones, so he would prefer to be the only dog in the home, with dog socials taking place out on walks.

Ottis is a young, energetic lad who will benefit from quieter walking routes and a private garden where he can relax, play, and continue his training. He could live with dog-savvy teens (13+) who can give him space when needed and help him feel comfortable meeting new people at his own pace.

Ottis may find being left alone a little worrying at first, so he’ll need owners who can build this up gradually and offer plenty of reassurance. He’ll blossom in a home that understands sensitive dogs and can give him the steady, loving environment he deserves.

Ottis has so much love to give, and with a patient, understanding family, he’ll make a truly wonderful companion.
