Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Opal is a sweet little girl who effortlessly balances being both laid back and fun-loving! For starters, this girlie knows when to relax and is content on car rides laying in the back seat and looking out the window. She’d be a great road trip buddy! Another favorite pastime is calm moments laying in the grass chewing on treats. Opal also loves to go on adventures and play! She’s lots of fun at the dog park and even plays well with big dogs (I think she’s a big dog at heart!). She’s confident and friendly and the joy on her face as she bolts around the park is contagious! She’s got puppy energy and would do well with an active family (or at least one that will make opportunities for her to be active!)
Speaking of, Opal is also a fan of hiking trails and enjoys exploring the new scents she finds in nature! She goes above and beyond when it comes to being a good girl, since she even shared a really really tasty bully stick with her friend without much more than a bark. She’s a super gentle girl at heart and is also CUDDLY. Opal is waiting to jump beside you on the couch and roll over for belly rubs. I have a suspicion she may be a lap dog if given the opportunity! And we haven’t even talked about how stinking cute she is. Opal has the sweetest eyes that are filled with so much love for everyone, I can’t imagine how much she’ll love her forever family. Do you think Opal could be the one for you? Come meet her today!
