About Otis

Otis is a sweet young boy who is about 1 to 2 years old and weighs around 22 pounds. Found as a stray, he was taken in by a caregiver who became very attached to him, but unfortunately, it didn’t work out due to her other dog’s resistance. Though Otis can be a bit shy at first, he is friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs. He is generally quiet and keeps his kennel clean when on a consistent schedule, only needing to go outside at the appropriate times. He does walk on a leash, but could use some reinforcement. This little guy is already neutered and vaccinated, making him ready for his forever home. Interested adopters should note that a personal visit is required, as SOS Beagle Rescue does not ship dogs. To start the process, check the adoption application on their website.
