Sex: Female Breed: Shepherd Mix Estimated Date of Birth: 08/23/2024 Opal is a 1-year-old German Shepherd/Australian Shepherd mix, which basically means she hit the genetic jackpot. Smart, athletic, and absolutely stunning, Opal is the kind of dog people stop and stare at (and then immediately ask about). Seriously this girl is striking. With her unique shepherd features and that unmistakable Aussie influence, she looks like she walked straight out of a dream. But it's not just about looks--Opal has the personality to match. She's incredibly sweet and affectionate once she feels comfortable, forming gentle, meaningful bonds with her people. Opal can be a little shy at first, but give her a moment and you'll see her soft, loving nature shine through. She's the kind of dog who builds trust in a quiet, genuine way and that makes her connection with you even more special. Opal is friendly with both people and other dogs, and she carries herself with a calm, easygoing presence. She's not over-the-top just quietly wonderful. With her mix of intelligence and sensitivity, Opal would thrive in a home that can give her a little patience, a little guidance, and a lot of love. In return, she'll give you a loyal companion who feels truly one-of-a-kind.
