Opal is a petite, sweet little lap dog who is still learning that the world—and her people—are safe. She is making steady progress every day and will do best in a calm, patient home that understands some dogs need time to fully trust.
Opal absolutely thrives with other small dogs and must have a small canine companion in her forever home. She follows her foster’s pack outside, plays nicely with other small dogs, and clearly gains confidence from being around them.
She’s a total lap dog at heart—once she feels comfortable. Opal loves belly rubs, especially from visitors, and happily rolls over for attention. She’s social with company, runs right up to greet guests, and enjoys being doted on. She’s also food-motivated, which will be helpful as she continues her training.
Opal is pad trained and working on house training, walks on a leash but would benefit from continued practice, and sleeps soundly in her small dog bed at night.
That said, Opal is still building trust with her primary caregiver and can be protective of her space while she settles in. Because of this, she is looking for a home with no children under the age of 10 and an adopter who is patient, experienced, and willing to let her move at her own pace. Each day she becomes more comfortable and confident, and her foster has already seen positive changes.
With the right environment, another small dog by her side, and a gentle, understanding owner, Opal has all the makings of a loving, loyal companion.
If you’re looking for a little shadow who just needs time, kindness, and consistency, Opal may be the perfect match.
