My personality

My story

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

THIS POST WILL BE REMOVED WHEN THE DOG IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. INQUIRIES ABOUT THE ADOPTION STATUS WILL NOT BE RETURNED.

Opal is a purebred Cairn Terrier who has recently retired from a commercial breeding facility and is seeking a loving, forever home. As she is still learning the ropes of living indoors, house training, etc.the ideal home for Opal will have someone home a lot, or a family with rotating schedules, to keep her on a routine and consistent potty schedule.

As she is still shy and frightened by loud noises and sudden movements, a calm environment will help her to gain confidence. She is still not bold enough to walk, or potty while on a leash, a securely fenced yard will be required in addition to a resident dog for companionship and to model appropriate canine behavior.



Opal enjoys being part of a pack and included in family activities.  She is thriving with routine and structure, but being nearby is what she wants most.  She loves squeaky toys over the harder material ones and will wear them out.  


The suggested adoption donation for Opal is a minimum of $500 and goes toward the high cost of veterinary care for our rescue dogs.Wag N Train Terrier Rescue adopts to an extended geographical area as long as we can locate a local volunteer to perform the required home visit. Approved adopters are required to travel to Omaha, NE to pick up their newly adopted dog. We do not arrange transport, or fly our rescue dogs without a "pet nanny". All of our dogs that come from a commercial breeding facility require a securely fenced yard AND a resident companion dog, unless the dog's bio states otherwise. Please note, invisible or underground fencing is not considered secure or appropriate containment. Adoption applications can be found at www.wagntrainterrierrescue.com/adoption-information

More about this rescue

Wag N Train Terrier Rescue was formed in April 2010 to provide tender loving care for terriers in need. We are a small, all-volunteer organization made up of uniquely talented individuals who all love dogs. Several of us are certified pet dog trainers and we hold weekly training sessions for the dogs in our foster care. In addition, we also teach dog training classes to the general public and offer a weekly small dog play group for supervised socialization opportunities.
