The inspiration for building this company came when two worlds met for Kate, the owner and operator of Otis & Roo. While working at the SPCA as a veterinarian technician, Kate saw the desperate need to help suffering animals and was constantly inspired by the great spirit and forgiving souls animals maintained dispite the abuse and neglect they experienced. And the same time adopting her first dog
, a Boxer named Lucy, from the Seeing Eye Institute. Lucy had a heart condition and was therefore unable to perform duties needed to be a guidedog. Lucy's spirit and true heart were revealed and became the inspiration and catalyst for the begining of Otis & Roo where Kate combines her creative energy, love of design, and a passion for helping animals in need into a dynamic and growing brand of accessories for dogs, cats, and their humans. We design and produce collars, leashes, keychains, and charms, with a percentage of profit going back to animals in need.
