Learn more hereTiny but full of love, 5-year-old Otis is a 6-pound Chihuahua mix looking for his happily ever after. His favorite things? Blanket snuggles, head scratches, sunny naps, chew toys, and leisurely walks (with the occasional adorable sprint!).

Because of his past, Otis can be a little shy with new people and unfamiliar situations, but give him a few minutes and a little patience, and you'll have a devoted cuddle buddy by your side. He's mostly potty trained, doing well walking on leash with a secure harness, and has been calm around other dogs.

If you're looking for a sweet little companion with a gentle heart and lots of love to give, Otis is ready to meet you! Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
