Otto
Hello, my name is Otto. My animal id is #16275. I am a male white dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 1 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 16-Dec-2017.
Otto is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Upper Respiratory Disease Complex and will likely require home rest and a series of antibiotics for up to 14 days. This is a contagious illness to other dogs.

Summary:: Otto was friendly during the handling assessment; social towards the assessor, and allowed all handling. He was a bit distracted during tag, but remained soft.
Summary (1):: Otto was surrender as a stray so her past behavior with other dogs is unknown. 12/19: When off leash at the Care Center, Otto greets the helper dog intensely and immediately becomes sexually motivated. He persistently sniffs the greeter’s genitalia then attempts to mount her. He is difficult to interrupt, and is separated. 12/20: Otto continues to engage in sexually motivated behaviors when paired with a playful female dog. He chases and corners her numerous times, attempting to mount her.

Date of initial:: 12/16/2017
