Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ophelia — a gentle, resilient soul finally stepping into the love she has always deserved.
At just 2 years old, this beautiful pit mix has already weathered far more than most dogs ever should. Found as an emaciated stray and brought to Milwaukee Animal Control, Ophelia gave birth to her puppies only days later. Despite her condition, she poured every bit of strength into caring for them. Now that her pups are thriving, it’s Ophelia’s turn to be cherished.
Ophelia’s foster family can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and calm, with a soft spirit that shines through more every day. She does well in a crate overnight and for short stretches during the day, and eats peacefully alongside other dogs with no resource guarding at all. She gets along wonderfully with the resident dog (a friendly 60-lb male) and absolutely adores the children in the home — even choosing to sleep in bed with one of them when she’s not crated.
Chaos doesn’t rattle her; loud kid energy and visitors don’t faze her in the slightest. She greets new people with a full-body tail wag and sometimes an excited hop, but she’s easily redirected with gentle guidance. Ophelia is still underweight and regaining strength, and while she walks well inside the home, she can pull strongly on leash in the yard — something that may increase as she continues to gain healthy weight. With continued patience and love, she will only keep blossoming.
Ophelia is quiet, snuggly, and incredibly devoted — a dog who wants nothing more than to be close to her people and feel safe at last. After everything she’s overcome, she’s ready for a forever family who will show her the same unconditional love she has shown her puppies.
If your home has room for a tender-hearted companion who radiates gratitude and sweetness, Ophelia may be the perfect addition to your family.
All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.sftsrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
