Meet Ophelia — the sweetest little Frenchie mix with a tongue that’s always ready to say hello!
Ophelia is a gentle, loving girl with an adorable little tongue that peeks out and melts hearts instantly. She came into rescue pregnant and bravely delivered two healthy pups right away and now that her babies are safe, it’s finally *her* turn to find the forever friend she deserves.
This compact cutie loves going for walks, and she *really* loves a good back scratch, if she finds just the right spot, she’ll happily drop down and give herself a full back rub routine. She knows how to sit, will get down when asked, and if you’re lucky, she’ll offer her signature high-five when she’s in the mood!
Ophelia likes to make new friends slowly and on her own timeline, but once she feels comfortable, she warms up beautifully. Because she prefers a calmer environment, she would do best in a home with adults or older children who can respect her pace. She can zip around the house like a little bunny when she’s excited, it’s impossible not to smile watching her happy hops.
She is housebroken, crate-trained, an excellent listener, and wonderfully well-mannered. Whether she’s chasing a ball, chewing a bone quietly, or curled up right next to you, she’s happiest simply being by your side.
Ophelia will give her family a lifetime of love, she’s sweet, loyal, and truly the best friend you’ve been looking for. Sweet, loving, best friend material!

More about this rescue
Players for Pits is a 501c3, non profit rescue that connects professional athletes to the community in order to come together to take a stand against the abuse and neglect of animals. PFP serves the western suburbs of Chicago and is a foster based rescue, so the dogs in our care are in foster homes learning the basics of being a well balanced dog versus being in cages at loud boarding facilities.
The athletes involved in our rescue actively support the rescue efforts and help by spreading the word of dogs in need. It is the mission of Players for Pits to educate dog owners about proper pet care - both physical and mental - so that the dogs in our care can be happy, well balanced members of society. It is our goal to rescue dogs from high kill shelters and place them into loving homes in the suburbs. At Players for Pits we stand up for pit bulls, who's character is routinely tarnished and often misrepresented. We recognize the pit bull for what it is: a DOG. And any dog with the right care and owners can be a wonderful pet. While we are an advocate for pit bulls, we do not discriminate based on breed and will take in other breeds if they need you help. Players for Pits is also very active in the community and we co-host clinics to help struggling families maintain their pets health, we train pit bull type dogs to become therapy dogs for children with abusive backgrounds, and we try to involve the community in our goal to reduce pet abandonment.
