Otto is a 6-year-old Bull Terrier in Staten island , NY, who needs $2,000 for Surgery.

Otto came to us as a rescue. He was abused by his previous owner and even branded. He had severe anxiety and PTSD. With love, compassion, and affection, he learned to be a loving and affectionate family member. Not only did we save Otto, but he saved my husband’s life as well. My husband was out of work for over 10 years. He suffered from severe anxiety and depression. Otto gave him purpose.

Otto is the most affectionate dog you will ever meet. He also has FOMO. He needs to be in the middle of everything and needs to be with the family. He loves to lay on pillows and snuggle. He gives constand hugs and kisses.

Otto is the funniest dog you will ever meet. He is always smiling and wagging his tail, even at the vets office. He loves to slide down the steps on his belly. If you play tug of war with him, he’s so sweet and affectionate that he does not tug back. Instead he let you drag him across the tile floor, or while that tail is wagging

Otto broke his leg in 2 places. He had surgery and they implanted pins and screws. Then he got a staph infection. From the infection, one of the pins shifted into his ankle. He now has a fiberglass splint which needs to be changed weekly. Then he will need another surgery to remove the impants.

My husband is now working, so we scrimpedup enough to pay for his surgery. But having to take the dog back to Redbank animal Hospital every week, and pay for a 2nd surgery is putting us in a more dire financial position than we were when he wasn’t working.working.
