Otis is a 10-year-old Greyhound in Rodanthe, NC, who needs $2,000 for digit amputation to stop sarcoma spread.

Otis came into our lives exactly 1 year ago. I wanted to foster a senior dog who needed to decompress from shelter life while working on a 5 week project. I was hopeful that I could find him adopters by taking him on daily walks and many visits to home improvement stores. Otis was severely underweight and at 9 yrs old I knew he would need all the help he could get to find the perfect family.

When no one stepped up to adopt him, I knew I could not leave him. Otis is a gentle and sweet senior. His favorite hobbies are walking while his brother Tank strolls beside him. He can always be found curled up and cozy on a bed or sofa. He enjoys every day and you can yell by his lovely smile! Otis makes everyone smile back at him!

2020 was a horrible year with covid 19 in the picture. If you are able, please donate to Otis's surgery fund. We thank you from the bottom of our 💕 hearts! I believe can make his much needed surgery happen! THANK YOU!

Otis was recently diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma which appeared on his paw. He had an initial surgery to remove the mass. Sadly, the mass has become cancer. we have just learned that he will require surgery to remove 2 digits and part of his paw pad in order to remove the cancer. We are heartbroken.

Otis brings joy to our lives every single day. He is funny and makes us laugh with his silly behavior. He is so gentle with every animal he meets. His heart is golden! He offers the world's very best cuddles and is happy to meet everyone. Otis did not start out with such a good life and was most likely a neglected hunting dog for the 1st 9 years BUT, He is making up for it now!
