Otis: Bill and Jerri had lost their 2 boxers within just a few months of each other. They called an AWS member to say that they were ready to share their home with another boxer. As luck would have it just a few days later we received a call from a woman saying she and her husband were splitting up and neither could take Otis. Bill and Jerri were called and they went to see him that same day. It was love at first sight. They went back the next day and took him home. Otis has some physical scars from past abuse but he's a happy boy in his new, loving home.

Now Charlotte, and her granddaughter Kaylinn treat Snow like the little prince he is.
