Meet Opal — a sweet, goofy baby girl with a heart as bright as her name. This happy pup truly gets along with everyone she meets and brings a whole lot of joy wherever she goes.
Opal came from humble beginnings. She was one of a litter found abandoned on the steps of a rural church, but she’s now thriving in her foster home and showing just how wonderful she is. She absolutely loves spending time with her people, so a home where she can be part of the action and included in daily life would be a dream come true for her.
She does well with people of all ages. While she can be a bit enthusiastic and playful, she isn’t a jumper and is simply a fun, happy companion—just something to keep in mind for families with very young children. Opal lives with multiple dogs of various ages and does great with them all. She has been cat tested with no issues, though like many playful pups, she may chase if a cat runs, so dog-savvy cats would be best.
Opal walks nicely on leash from the house to the car and rides well in the back of an SUV with no signs of car sickness. She’s house-trained to a doggie door and would just need a little help learning how to signal when she needs to go out in a new home.
While Opal will go into a crate, she isn’t a big fan of it. Thankfully, she doesn’t really need one—she doesn’t chew furniture and settles well once distractions are gone. Puppy beds, however, don’t stand a chance! One of her funniest quirks is attempting (and failing) to drag a giant dog bed out the doggie door, which never fails to get a laugh.
Whether she’s heading out on an adventure or curling up on the couch for some quality cuddle time, Opal is always happy just being with her people.
She’s a loving, entertaining, and loyal girl who’s ready to find her forever home. Maybe yours???

More about this rescue
PAWS is comprised of a small group of volunteers from New England and Tennessee trying to reduce the euthanization rate (previously 90%) at the Tipton County Animal Control shelter in Brighton, Tennessee. This shelter is forced to euthanize thousands of animals each year due to irresponsible pet owners that do not spay/ neuter their dogs in the area. Millions of dogs in America are euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of funding to try and find them better homes.
Our mission is to save as many animals as possible, removing them from the shelter, having their veterinary needs met prior to traveling and then finding them loving homes throughout New England. We do this only with the assistance of many people volunteering their time by going to the shelter, transporting the dogs to the vet, fostering dogs who need special care, and arranging for their new and happy homes in this area. Most importantly, we cannot do any of this without those people willing to open their homes and hearts to these lovely creatures.
