Arrival Story:
I had spent a few weeks exploring local shelters - specifically looking for a non-black female. I found a litter of grey merle aussie mix at the pound but had to wait a week before they were adoptable. When I returned to get the grayest little girl I entered the kennel to play with them all they all scampered out of the cage - I looked down at my feet to see the fuzziest little black boy chewing on my shoe lace. He picked me!

Bio:
Otis left us unexpectedly on Jan 16. He lived & loved better than most. He was well loved by all who knew him. We miss his sneezes of joy, his enthusiastic sit, his fuzzy cabeza in my lap. Thanks for all the years of crazy dog love.
