Meet Opal. Wise, patient, and bright, she's the kind of dog who adapts easily to her people and surroundings. At 9 years old, she still greets each new walk, game of fetch, or opportunity to learn with the energy of a much younger pup. Volunteers gravitate to her—she’s calm, personable, and simply easy to love. Opal fits best in a home with adults or older teenagers who respect her space and maturity. While she gets along well with most other dogs, she really prefers a male companion. Training is second nature to her—she knows her basic commands, loves learning new tricks (especially when snacks are involved), and rarely pulls on the leash. Her short, striking coat and harlequin coloring stand out wherever she goes. She is spayed, vaccinated, house trained, and ready to be someone’s loyal shadow. Opal asks for kindness and structure in return for her endless loyalty and steady companionship. Give her that, and she’ll settle right in. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
