Ottie is another sweet but discombobulated soul who landed in a shelter and had no way out but rescue. Ottie is deaf and struggled to find his balance. He soon had lost his chances in his homes and was in and out of the shelter as he reached adulthood. Naturally, mishandling eventually lead to bites and Ottie would need rescue to escape euthanasia. Having had several deaf dogs call Pack Ethic - Home - we knew we could show Ottie a chance at safety and stability. When you deal with a dog that has one of his senses missing - you have to be prepared for the differences in their decisions. You have to be willing to offer the structure that they need to feel safe and take the extra time to help them find their calm center. Love doesn’t solve everything but hard work can always get you to where you need to be. Ottie is such a little sweetheart. He has such a good spirit and willingness to follow and has made this place his home. He has been with us for over ten months now - and we are so grateful to give this special guy forever. ❤️
