Meet the wonderful Opie! 🐶 This remarkable boy is officially on the lookout for a forever home, and he’s ready to touch hearts along the way. After arriving at our rescue in January, it was clear that Opie had faced quite a bumpy road. Imagine spending two years in a crate, which left him timid and a little unsure of the world. But guess what? He’s been on an incredible journey of trust, slowly learning how to embrace love from his foster family day after day. Born in December of 2020, Opie’s story includes a mix of love and hardship. After being rehomed multiple times, he encountered some tough experiences that could scare anyone. It's no wonder he developed a bit of fear reactivity; can you blame him? But here’s the silver lining: he’s now safe and blossoming with hope! 🌈 Opie has never truly known the warmth of a safe home—a place where he doesn’t have to fret about his next meal or bathroom break. He’s left behind that life of anxiety and is eager for a stable routine, where he can thrive. 🏡 He’s a spirited guy, loving the outdoors with a fenced yard to run and zoomie around in! While Opie can be a bit cautious of new folks, he’s a friendly soul at heart, especially with folks who have patience. Kids, however, might make him a tad jittery, so a home without children would be ideal. Plus, he has a strong prey drive, so he’s looking for a cat-free home without any small critters. 🐾 But don’t worry; Opie gets along well with other dogs, especially those that can keep up with his playful spirit! 🐕 At 4 years old and 28 pounds, this lovable guy is a unique mix of cattle dog and dachshund—how fun is that? A DNA test confirmed it! Opie is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and up-to-date on all his preventatives. He’s ready to find his perfect person or family who will continue the journey of building his confidence!
