Why I need a new home

Found or abandoned

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Otis was my mom’s dog. She passed away a year and a half ago. We took Otis into our home full time about 4 months ago. He is a special needs senior dog. He has arthritis and GI issues. My mom had always wanted a yorkie and our local humane society had a hoarding case of all yorkies. Most were unable to be adopted but my mom was able to adopt one of the few that were left. He has been through a lot even before making his way into my mom’s life. They were able to spend years together and he never left her side. After she passed he continued to live at her home with my siblings. Once they moved out we took him in. We already have cats and a dog in our home and I have been working to sort out my own personal health issues. Taking on another special needs senior animal is something we have found is unable to be done. We are looking for a loving home for Otis. The decision was not made lightly. He would do best in a single pet home with someone who he can be attached to.
