Rehoming Otis – Experienced Home Needed – Gentle Giant Saint Bernard
Otis is a 4-year-old purebred Saint Bernard, male and neutered, weighing approximately 55kg. He is a big, loving boy with a friendly and playful personality who enjoys human company.
He is good with children aged 5+, other dogs, and is generally social and affectionate.
Training & behaviour:
Fully toilet trained
Knows sit, stay, and paw
Good on the lead
No recall off-lead
Needs daily walks and mental stimulation
Important behavioural note: Otis does have resource guarding tendencies, believed to stem from abuse in a previous home. This is most noticeable around food or high-value items. With clear boundaries, experienced handling, and consistency, this has been manageable, but he will need an experienced owner who understands resource guarding and is willing to continue working with him positively.
Because of this, Otis is not suitable for homes with young children and will require sensible management around food and toys.
Health:
No known medical issues
Vaccination history unsure
Home needed: Otis would thrive in a home with:
Experience with large/giant breeds
Understanding of resource guarding behaviours
A calm, structured environment
Ability to provide daily exercise
Children aged 5+ only
Ideally space suited to an extra-large dog
Reason for rehoming: With a newborn in the household, I’m no longer able to safely manage Otis’s needs alongside a baby. This decision has been incredibly difficult and is being made solely in his best interests.
Otis is a loyal, loving dog who deserves a knowledgeable, patient home where he can feel secure and understood. A careful rehoming process will be followed to ensure the right match.
Please get in touch if you feel you can offer Otis a safe, experienced, and permanent home. Read more
