🌟 Meet Opal, an inspiring young female Boxer with a heart as big as her journey! Can you believe this sweetheart's story began on the streets of Tijuana? 🐾 Picture this: a heartbreaking image of little Opal, emaciated and covered in ticks, tugged at the heartstrings of those who saw it. Homeless and struggling, she caught the attention of a rescue group who knew they had to do something. They brought her to safety, and right away, off she went to the vet for bloodwork and a 4DX test. The results? Negative! Her blood work came back perfectly normal, and they couldn't have been more thrilled! 🎉 But hold on! Fast forward a couple of months, and Opal was on medical status while she slowly regained her strength and gained weight. Just when they thought she was out of the woods, during her spay appointment, Opal faced a near-tragic moment on the operating table. It turns out she had contracted not one, but TWO tick-borne diseases: Erlichia and Anaplasmosis! 🦠 Thankfully, the brave team at the vet cured her ailments! However, she is now bravely battling Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia, requiring regular blood draws and medication. Talk about a fighter! 💪 And here's a little twist in her tale: during her visits, it was discovered that Opal is deaf! But don't worry, this doesn't deter her one bit from being the sweetest, most affectionate dog you’ll ever meet. She adores her humans and is pretty convinced she’s a lap dog. Whenever you sit down, you can expect her to cuddle right up to you—because who doesn’t need extra love, right?! 😍 Opal is searching for a loving home where her new family will revel in her goofy, loving personality! If your heart is ready to welcome this brave girl into your life and give her the second chance she so truly deserves, it’s time to make a move! 💖 Please complete the adoption application through the Buddy App, and let’s give Opal the happy ending she's been waiting for! 🏠🤗
