Opal is just the sweetest, cutest little boston cow print pig snort mix you have ever seen! She is less than a year old, housebroken, quietly crates, loves other dogs big or small, is so gentle and sweet with children, ignored the cats when we cat tested her, great on lead walks right beside you and has the cutest little pug snort. We rescued Opal from Memphis Animal Services. She had an injury on her leg and a little swelling, we had radiographs done and are so happy there was not a fracture. The vet gave her medicine for the swelling and it has already gone down. We got her a dogbed, but she has decided that she would rather share a larger bed with a Husky. She likes cuddling up beside one of our dogs to sleep, she does not discriminate whoever will let her cuddle up is where she is for the night. Except for the first night out of the shelter he foster Mom woke up and Opal was cuddled up above her head on the pillow. Opal would make a great apartment dog OR in a house full of people and other dogs/cats.
All of our rescues are temperament tested around children of all ages, small and large dogs and cats. They all have basic training, IE; sit; down, come and walking on a lead. We are not a shelter, we are a rescue and all of our rescued dogs are kept in individual foster/volunteers homes. This gives them sometimes their first taste of having a family and being part of that family. Also, it provides us with the understanding of each individual rescue to match them to your family lifestyle and dynamics. As soon as we receive your application back, we will phone you to set up a home visit/meet & greet. If you are out of our area, we would request another rescue and/or veterinary office complete the home visit.
All of our rescues are completely vetted prior to adoption. Also, completed prior to adoptions are heartworm treatments as needed, any medical conditions treated (IE; allergies, demedex, etc.) and any surgeries for dogs coming into the rescue injured (IE; car accidents, etc.). Below is the vetting that all of our rescues receive prior to adoption. We only pull dogs from shelters and approximately 80% of our rescues come into the rescue heartworm positive. Those rescues are treated for heartworms prior to adoption.
