About Otis

Meet Otis, a charming 10-year-old who embodies the joy of second chances. After being found as a stray, he transformed from a matted mess into a lovable companion, all thanks to the care he received. Otis thrives in a relaxed environment, where he enjoys spending most of his day snoozing, preferably nestled up with his human friends. If you ever forget to give him some love, he knows just how to remind you—by playfully tapping your leg with his paws! Though Otis is blind, he adapts remarkably well and learns his surroundings quickly. With a bit of patience while he adjusts to new spaces, he shines even brighter. He's fully house-trained and has a friendly disposition, getting along beautifully with both dogs and cats. If his humans are busy, he doesn’t mind curling up with his furry pals for a cozy nap instead. Are you ready to bring Otis into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
