About Opal

Opal is an 11-month-old, 45-50 lbs bundle of energy and athleticism. This beautiful brindle American Staffordshire Terrier is a wonderful pup who thrives in the company of other dogs, so a home with at least one canine companion would be ideal. Despite her sweet nature, she's wary of new people due to past abuse, particularly from teens and children, so she should not be placed in homes with kids. Once she feels safe, Opal quickly warms up and reveals her affectionate side. She's a typical energetic puppy, ready to join you on runs or adventures. Unfortunately, Opal was previously adopted but returned because the young adopter did not have parental permission. She is already house trained and spayed, making her a great addition to a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
