Opie has survived a lot in his short life. After enduring 44 days alone, scavenging and fending for himself, he’s still catching up on weight and learning to trust people again. Shy around new faces and slow to open up, he’s been through a traumatizing ordeal, but you can see signs of hope as he starts to wag his tail and “talk” with those he’s grown comfortable around. Opie does especially well with other dogs—having canine companions around is a big comfort for him. His ordeal ended only after hours of patient coaxing with rotisserie chicken when he finally allowed himself to be rescued. He is still getting used to being safe but improves each day, leaving behind that shut-down, distant look in his eyes. Now he just needs someone steady and kind to help him along the road back to confidence. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
