Description
Dog Breed: Boston Terrier (short coat). Meet Otis – Our Valley Fever Survivor Who’s Ready for His Next Chapter Otis is an 8-year-old, 23 lb Boston Terrier who has already fought — and won — the biggest battle of his life. When he came to us, he was suffering from a severe case of Valley Fever that caused extreme pain, fever, and regurgitation. Thanks to incredible veterinary care and his own determination, Otis pulled through and is now stable, comfortable, and enjoying life again. Otis is still on long-term antifungal medication, and Boston Buddies will cover all Valley Fever–related medications and follow-up testing for as long as needed. As Otis has started feeling better and stronger, some challenges have developed in his current home. He is doing well with female dogs but has shown he prefers not to live with other male dogs. For everyone’s safety and happiness, we are now searching for a foster or forever home where Otis can be the only dog or live with a small female companion. Otis Highlights: • Ball is life — he loves fetch and will happily entertain himself • Professional blanket rearranger and dog bed interior designer • Crate trained and comfortable with cozy bedding • Master hole digger and ball burier • Has perfected the art of dramatic pouting • Takes his meds like a champ… as long as there’s liverwurst involved Otis is still polishing his house training skills and may need patience and structure in a new home. He thrives with clear rules and confident leadership — if there’s a power vacuum, Otis is ready to step in as King of the Castle. Otis can be a little independent and sometimes aloof, likely from a past life where he may not have been treated as a family member. But he is learning what love and safety mean, and he is showing more connection every day. What Otis really wants is simple: A calm home. A sunny spot to nap. Unlimited ball time. A family who sees how special he is.

Now he just needs someone to choose him. View more photos on our facebook page .facebook/BostonBuddiesInc

Breed overview
Boston Terrier
A.K.A.: American Gentleman, Boston Bulldog, Roundheads, Little Blue Boys, Tuxedo Terrier
Overview:
The Boston Terrier, affectionately known as the "American Gentleman," originated in the late 19th century in Boston, Massachusetts, making it one of the few breeds developed in the U.S. Physically, they are compact and muscular, typically weighing between 12 and 25 pounds, with a distinctive "tuxedo" coat pattern—black or brindle with white markings on the muzzle, chest, and often a blaze between the eyes. Their expressive, round eyes and erect, bat-like ears are hallmark features. Temperamentally, Boston Terriers are friendly, intelligent, and lively, known for their charming personalities and unwavering loyalty. They adapt well to various living situations, making them excellent companions for both families with children and individuals in apartments, as long as they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation. Regarding health, they are a brachycephalic (short-nosed) breed, so care must be taken in hot weather to prevent overheating, and they can be prone to eye conditions and patellar luxation. Overall, their delightful nature and manageable size make them a beloved choice for many.
