Meet Ophelia - graceful, thoughtful, and quietly brave.
Ophelia arrived at the shelter alongside her four siblings after a very rough beginning. All of them were emaciated, sick, and in urgent need of care. Despite her difficult start, Ophelia has shown incredible resilience and has grown into a gentle, observant, and affectionate young pup with a calm curiosity about the world around her.
Now healthy and thriving, Ophelia is beginning to enjoy all the little joys of puppyhood. She loves exploring new spaces, watching everything with bright, thoughtful eyes, and warming up with soft affection once she feels safe. While she may be a bit more reserved at first, her sweetness shines through as she builds trust - and when she does, she forms deep, loving bonds.
Ophelia is looking for a patient, nurturing home that will help her continue to grow in confidence and show her what it means to feel truly secure. She'll do best with gentle guidance, routine, and plenty of positive reinforcement as she learns the ropes.
If you're searching for a tender-hearted, resilient, and deeply endearing companion, Ophelia is ready to find her forever family.
