If you've ever thought about fostering or adopting, here is your chance to really help change the life of our handsome Otis! Shelter life is taking it's toll on Otis, you see he has a pretty significant heart murmur and the stress of the shelter environment is just simply too much for him. He was found as a stray and has never been found/reclaimed so here he waits for a second chance at a new life in a loving home. He is about 2 years old with gorgeous markings, he even has a spotted nose that looks like a cow! He is not a fan of kitties and does like some female dogs but the perfect home for him would be one all to himself. He is playful and smart and would be a wonderful companion to someone who could give him the love and attention he so deserves. The Cranston Animal Shelter would love to find him a suitable place as soon as possible to relieve the excess stress he is currently under, so please call them at 401-464-8700 if you have a place in your heart and home for Otis. You can also visit him during their open adoption hours: Tues., Thurs., Friday 11:30-3:00 and Saturday 11:00-3:00. They are located at 920 Phenix Avenue Cranston, RI. Photo credit: Karen Kalunian
