Ophelia is a 4-year-old mixed breed weighing about 17 pounds, and she's proof that even the toughest beginnings can't dim a sweet soul. She and her siblings were rescued after being cruelly dumped in a rural area and left to survive on their own. When they were found, they were dangerously underweight and desperately needed help. Since then, Ophelia has been safe in a caring foster home where she's been slowly gaining weight and learning what it feels like to be loved and cared for. Through it all, Ophelia has remained a gentle, affectionate girl. She does wonderfully with other dogs and has a warm, loving nature that makes people fall for her quickly. She is very cuddly and affectionate. She loves toys and may occasionally take off with a shoe. She is overly curious about cats and will chase, so no cats in the home. Ophelia is still working on some life skills. She's learning how to walk on a leash and can be nervous meeting people on walks and is very shy around cars driving by. She isn't fully housetrained yet, so she'll need a patient adopter who can continue helping her build confidence. Because she's still getting comfortable with leash walking, a home with a secure fenced yard will be important for her. With her kind heart and resilient spirit, Ophelia is ready to leave her past behind and start the happy life she's always deserved. Ophelia currently weighs about 17lbs., is approximately 4 years old (est. birth date 01/30/2022), and her adoption fee is $315. Ophelia has been spayed, is up to date on all vaccinations & preventatives, and is microchipped.
