My name is
Opie!

 Hi!  I’m Opie, your new best friend, ready for adventure. I am a flat coated retriever/border collie mix. I’m an incredibly smart, athletic boy who loves walks, fetch, cuddles, a good tennis ball de-fuzzing, and my people! I’m a graduate of Rockin’ E Obedience Class along with lots of other training, and have lots of tricks to show you, such as sitting at every street intersection and making treats disappear. I’m more than a pretty face, I’m great around other respectful dogs, cats and kids, though I do best with slow controlled introductions so that I don’t get too overwhelmed. I am still a young man, so someone willing to work to help guide me to be my best would be ideal! I’m doing very well working on my walking manners: I walk loose-leash, don’t bark, and respond well to commands. I really just want to please my people, and I am an incredible listener. When you talk to me, you will find me watching you and tipping my head side to side making sure I’m getting every last word you say to me. I’m looking for a patient, kind family with lots of tennis balls and maybe another dog friend to play with, though I could be a single dog too! Are you ready for our adventure together?!

 At Laramie Animal Welfare Society, the first step to adoption is completing an adoption application on our website www.laramieanimals.org. Once submitted, your application will be reviewed by our adoption team which typically takes 7+ days.  Keep in mind, the animal you’re interested in when applying may be adopted and no longer available by the time your application is approved. We do not place animals on hold.   Pending approval, your application is valid for 6 months. Also pending approval, you will receive contact information, so that you may inquire about the personalities of specific animals. Adoptions for individual animals will occur by private adoption appointment. Because we are 100% foster-based, appointments are scheduled pending staff, foster home, and vetting schedules.  Should you want to proceed with the adoption, a brief appointment will occur at our adoption center to sign adoption paperwork, receive medical records, and pay the adoption fee.   

**Dog/Puppy applications -  Because of the large volume of dog/puppy applications we are receiving these applications may take longer to process, please be patient. We do not do first come first serve but we place the dog/puppy in the best suited home. If you have questions about the Dog/Puppy process please email lawsdogprogram@gmail.com**
