Otis is a 12-year-old Beagle in Geneva, OH, who needs $118 for Specially Compounded Medication for Resistant Ear Infection.

Otis' story will break your heart!

He wandered around a neighborhood as a stray his entire life.

One day he fell down a hill and collapsed. A kind person called animal control for help. The officers were so sad about Otis -- who never had a home or medical care -- that they called NE Ohio Greyhound Rescue.

The nonprofit group immediately got Otis the medical care he deserved. The poor senior beagle's front legs are deformed, and he can't stand straight, so his body is permanently tilted toward the left.

His body is worn and broken. His heart is enlarged. Otis was anemic from a heavy flea infestation and has old wounds that never healed properly. He also has an ear infection resistant to many treatments because his ear canal is misshaped. He needs a specially developed, compounded medication.

"It's a miracle that Otis is alive," Duane J., from the rescue group, tells Waggle. "He loves to be held and carried, and he sinks into our arms and looks up at us with the most adoring eyes."

Though the group can't fix Otis' past, they promise to give him all the care and love he deserves in the future.

"Otis is the sweetest, best behaved little bundle of love we've ever had the honor of caring for," Duane says. "Otis loves to eat, is happy, and always wags his tail. He can't move very fast, but he does waddle around, exploring and bringing smiles to all. If ever a little dog deserved love, care, and medications to make him comfortable in his golden years, Otis does."

The sanctuary provides lifetime care for old and sick animals and relies on the generosity of others to keep its doors open.

Please give and show Otis what being loved is like!
