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.
Olivia got very attached to Otis, and she couldn t stop thinking about him when she was home. She cried when she thought of him sitting in the shelter kennel.
Knowing that Otis was in a great shelter made her feel better.His kind shelter companions tried their hardest to make him happy.
Otis didn t receive a lot of interest from potential adopters until one day, a family came to meet him. Olivia felt both joy and sorrow. She wanted him to get his happy ending, but she knew she would miss him terribly.
Just when she thought her adorable boi had found his happiness, she learned that the family realized that they couldn t take him home after all. Olivia went to his kennel to comfort him and she took him for a walk.
Making Great Memories Together
Olivia s family and her boyfriend s family knew about Otis and how much she loved him. She told them about her sweet pooch and her family and friends came to visit him.
Otis felt overjoyed because Olivia gave him all her love.Every time she would come to his kennel, he would melt in her arms, giving her the most adorable hugs.
Olivia and Otis made many happy memories together, but there is one memory that is very special to Olivia. It was the day when she realized that Otis came out of his shell.
I ll never forget, two months into knowing him I took him outside and it was like after a rainy day. So the play yards were kind of muddy. And he got the zoomies and he accidentally ran into me and swept me off my feet. I landed straight on my back and I was so embarrassed. I got up, I m like looking around making sure nobody saw it, but he was just so happy,she recalled.
Olivia wanted to give him a forever home, but unfortunately, he couldn t live with her at the place she had lived at the time.

However, in May of 2023,Otis met a wonderful family, and he captivated their heartwith his adorable personality and his irresistible smile. They decided to adopt him.
Before Otis left the Michigan shelter, he said goodbye to the shelter staff and to Olivia, his beloved volunteer who filled his shelter days with so much happiness.
