Story
Opportunity Arises (OA) is a mellow, gentle soul who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be outside of a breeding facility. True to his nickname, OA loves relaxing in his favorite spot by the fireplace and enjoys the calm companionship of his foster dog friend, Willy.
OA is learning all sorts of “dog things” for the very first time. He happily goes outside and has even started doing a cute little twirl when he hears, “Do you want to go outside?” He follows Willy’s lead, though coming back inside is still a work in progress—and that’s okay. Everything is new to him.
He eats twice a day with no food aggression, is gentle with his toys, and has been perfect in the house so far—no accidents at all! OA is quiet and docile; his foster has only heard him bark a couple of times, and only while outside. As he gains confidence, we believe he’ll show more of his playful side.
Because OA is a retired breeding dog, life in a home is brand new. Stairs, leashes, potty training, and fast-moving objects can be scary for him. He currently will do 2 stairs to go outside but can not do a flight of stairs. He is not leash trained at all and at 31 pounds, he may need to be carried. He is making progress, but patience and understanding will be key as he continues to adjust.
OA will require another dog in the home to help guide him and give him confidence, as well as a securely fenced yard. A calm, predictable environment will help him blossom into the sweet companion he’s meant to be. We have not seen him around cats.
OA has only been out of the breeding facility for a short time, but his gentle heart is already shining through. With time, love, and the right home, Opportunity Arises truly lives up to his name.
