About Ohtani

Hi there, I’m Ohtani — your future snuggle buddy, couch companion, and all-around good boy.

If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate, and slightly goofy best friend, I think we just might be a perfect match. I’m a big softie at heart — cuddling is my absolute favorite thing in the world. I’ll happily curl up beside you (or, let’s be honest, on you) for endless love and attention. My foster family says I’d crawl inside their skin if I could… that’s how much I adore being close!

I’m a respectful and easygoing guy who gets along great with people and animals alike. I love all humans, big and small, though I’d probably do best with older kids since I don’t always realize my size when I snuggle. I’m also very good with other dogs — I match their energy perfectly. If they want to play, I’m in; if they’re calm, I’ll happily nap by their side. I even live with cats and think they’re pretty great! I’ve learned to give them space (even if I’d love to cuddle them too).

I’m housetrained, crate-trained, and have pretty great manners at home. I’m smart and picking up my training quickly — I now respond to my name and know how to sit, especially if treats are involved (yum!).

My foster family says I’m one of the happiest dogs they’ve ever met — my tail is always wagging, and I love being part of everything. I’m recovering from a leg injury right now, so I don’t need long walks or hikes, but I’d really enjoy a backyard to stretch my legs and roll around in the grass.

I do have one thing I’m working on: I can get a bit reactive toward other dogs when I’m on leash. I just get protective of my people and unsure about what to do. But I’m improving every day with treats, positive reinforcement, and a patient handler. Once I’m off leash or meeting dogs in a relaxed setting, I’m perfectly friendly.

I’d love a home with another mellow dog or a confident cat, and humans who appreciate a good cuddle session (or several). I don’t need constant company, but I sure do love being around my people when they’re home.

I’m the kind of dog who’ll make you laugh every day, follow you everywhere, and keep your heart full. I’ve been through a lot, but I’ve come out the other side with nothing but love to give.

Love,
Ohtani — your loyal, oversized lapdog
