I'm trying to help locate a home for a very special dog. His name is Otis, he's an 8 year old shepard mix. He belongs to a young woman who was critically injured in the nightclub fire in Rhode island in February. She is still in the hospital in serious condition, and it could be years or more before she could ever take care of him again. Because of this he has been placed for adoption. He is up-to-date on shots, and his adoption fee has been paid by a private individual who wants to make sure he gets a good home, but can't take him themselves. Otis is good with kids and other dogs, but is picky about his owners. he does need to go to a smoking house--he doesn't care much for non-smokers. If you can open your home and heart to Otis, please call Officer Liz at the: Town of Swansea Animal Shelter 68 Stevens Rd. Swansea MA 02777 Phone: 508-679-6446 Prospective adopters would need to make a trip to the shelter to meet Otis, he will not be shipped. Please feel free to crosspost this.
