Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Opal! She’s a 3-month-old Husky/Shepherd mix that was pulled from a rural shelter with her four siblings. While some of her sisters look more like German Shepherds, Opal definitely favors her Husky side.
Opal is truly a precious gem. She’s a bit dainty compared to some of her siblings who are bigger and more outgoing. She was shy at first, but warmed up quickly to her foster mom. She’s very gentle and likes to come up to her human and gently lean against them. If her human is sitting, she always puts her two front paws on them. When standing next to her human, she lifts one of her back legs so she can have her belly rubbed. She’s great with other dogs big and small, but we could see her doing well as an only dog where she’s the center of attention too. She seems very focused on her human.
Opal and her siblings aren’t big barkers. They share a foster home with a hound mix that’s also 3 months old, and when she’s barking at them to play, they don’t bark back.
Opal and her siblings just recently arrived at their foster home, but they will start working on crate training and potty training soon.
Opal’s foster mom has experience with Shepherd/Husky mixes, and she wants Opal and her siblings to go to homes where people understand the importance of daily walks and proper training and mental stimulation. Also, a fenced-in yard is very important because generally these types of dogs love to be outside. Since they are so young, their foster mom won’t send them anywhere where they need to be crated for more than 3-4 hours a day.
Opal currently weighs about 17 lbs at 3 months of age and will be a large dog when full grown, possibly 60-70 lbs.”
