My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

💎 Meet Opal: The Senior Lovebug Who’s Great with Everyone!
Meet Opal, a beautiful senior girl who deserves every bit of love and attention the world has to offer! If you're looking for a constant companion, Opal is your girl. She lives to sit on you, soak up pets, and deliver the deepest, most devoted love in return.

❤️ A Social Superstar
Opal is ready to join any loving household! She is incredibly adaptable and has proven to be a social superstar:

Great with Dogs: Including big dogs!

Great with Cats: She coexists beautifully with other felines.

Great with Kids: She loves attention from the whole family!

🗣️ Quirk Alert & Health Check
This sweet girl is quite the talker! She’ll let you know exactly what’s on her mind, especially when food is involved. Be warned: she will try to beg for human food right off your plate, so keep an eye on your dinner!

Opal is managing hyperthyroidism, which is controlled easily with two pills a day. The great news is she takes her medication like a champ, making her care straightforward!

All Opal asks for is a comfy lap and devoted love for the rest of her golden years. If you have room in your heart for this talkative, cuddly gem, apply today!

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
