Please help!

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.

He needs to go to a smokers house

That's pretty weird.

I do hope he finds a home.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused over that!

I hope they can find a good place soon. He sounds like a good dog who has been dealt a rough blow.

Does your shelter list their dogs on www.petfinder.com ? They also have personal ads you can list him for adoption there also.

Yes, he prefers the company of smokers to that of non-smokers. His owner of eight years (she rescued him when he was a pup) was a smoker, and he seems to prefer that smell on people.
