Meet Opal - or "Opie," as her friends call her!
This sweet pup, one of five siblings, has already shown more bravery in her young life than most dogs ever need to. Opal arrived at the shelter severely underweight and very sick, but with love, vet care, and her own incredible spirit, she has blossomed into a healthy, confident, and wonderfully goofy little girl.
Opie is now all puppy - learning her manners, discovering toys, and perfecting the art of the silly zoomies. She's curious, bright, and loves making people smile with her playful antics. Despite her rough start, she approaches life with optimism and a big, open heart.
She will thrive in a caring, patient home that can continue teaching her the ropes, celebrate her wins, and give her the steady love she's never had before. In return, Opal will shower you with loyalty, laughter, and the joy of watching a once-fragile pup grow into her happiest, strongest self.
If you're looking for a resilient, affectionate, and fun-loving companion, Opal is ready to shine in your life.
