Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.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 does very well with other small dogs and enjoys their company. She follows her foster’s pack outside, plays nicely, and often gains confidence from being around them. While she would be happy with a friendly small dog companion, another dog is not required as long as her adopter is willing to provide patience, structure, and reassurance. 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. She walks on a leash but will need continued practice, as she can bark at other dogs while on leash. Because of this, she is not condo or apartment appropriate. Opal will do best in a home with a securely fenced yard, where she can get her exercise without the stress of close-quarters living. She 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, a yard of her own, 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.
