Kind Volunteer Was Trying To Adopt A Dog And Then She Met The Sweetest Pup In A Shelter In Michigan

Olivia Boblet never imagined that she would fall deeply in love with a puppy the moment she laid eyes on him when she began volunteering at the SPCA of Southwest Michigan.

He had the cutest, most heartfelt eyes, and his name was Otis. He needed a lot of affection and was a true sweetheart.

When Olivia heard his narrative, she became depressed. When a house fire started, his family turned him over to a shelter. They were unable to retain Otis and were forced to relocate.

The adorable dog continued to whine in his kennel throughout his initial days at the shelter. He didn’t understand why he was away from his family and missed them.

Helping Otis Overcome His Sadness

Olivia did everything she could to lift his spirits, as did the other volunteers and staff at the shelter. Otis began to feel better after they showered him with affection. The dog enjoyed taking walks with his companions from the shelter. It was his day’s high point.

He would smile and his eyes would light up with happiness as soon as he saw Olivia coming toward his cage.

Every time Olivia took him outside, she loved seeing him change into a whole new puppy. Otis was the happiest pup in the play yards and liked doing zoomies. He didn’t like returning to the kennel.

All he wanted to do was go outside and play and do what other dogs do. “I don’t know, it just made me happy because I knew that I was making him happy by going there and taking him outside,” Olivia told GeoBeats Animals, describing how she saw him get the zoomies, de-stress, let it all out, and be so happy.

When she was at home, Olivia couldn’t stop thinking about Otis because she become so attached to him. She cried when she thought of him sitting in the shelter kennel.

She felt better knowing that Otis was in a good shelter.His kind shelter companions tried their hardest to make him happy.

Potential adopters showed little interest in Otis until a family visited him one day. Olivia felt both joy and sorrow. She knew she would miss him horribly, but she still wanted him to have a happy ending.

She found out that the family discovered they couldn’t bring her cute dog home after all, just when she believed he had finally found happiness. Olivia took him for a stroll and went to his kennel to console him.

Making Great Memories Together

Both Olivia’s and her boyfriend’s families were aware about Otis and her affection for him. Her family and friends came to visit her after she informed them about her adorable dog.

Olivia showed him all of her love, which made Otis very happy.He would melt in her arms and give her the nicest hugs whenever she visited his kennel.

Although Olivia and Otis shared a lot of joyful memories, Olivia holds a particular memory in high regard. She realized that day that Otis had finally come out of his shell.

I will always remember that two months after we first met, I took him outside and it felt like a wet day. The play yards were therefore somewhat muddy. Additionally, he grabbed the zoomies and unintentionally bumped into me, knocking me off my feet. I was very ashamed when I fell flat on my back. She recalled, “I got up and stared around to make sure no one saw it, but he was just so happy.”

Unfortunately, he was unable to live with Olivia at the residence she had at the time, despite her desire to offer him a forever home.

Otis Finds His Forever Home

If Otis was still at the shelter in June 2023, she intended to adopt him and relocate to a new house.

However, in May 2023, Otis met a lovely family and won them over with his endearing demeanor and contagious smile. They made the decision to adopt him.

Otis bid farewell to Olivia, his cherished volunteer who brought so much joy to his shelter days, as well as the staff at the Michigan shelter before departing.

Olivia was happy that the adorable doggo had his happily-ever-after, but she wanted she could have been his forever mother.

Otis loves to sleep on his comfortable bed and receives goodnight kisses from his parents and his two devoted human sisters.

Olivia received updates about him from his new mother. When Otis’ favorite volunteer realized how much he adored his new family, she was ecstatic. He’s having the time of his life.
