About Opal

Opal turns heads wherever she goes, but it's her steady, affectionate personality that really makes her stand out. At 4 and a half years old, this large Great Pyrenees mix is house trained, well-mannered, and takes things in stride. Drive across town or stroll the neighborhood—Opal rides quietly in the car and walks calmly on a leash. She craves indoor comforts and finds her peace curled up beside you, basking in a cozy evening or soaking up summer AC. If you work from home or have a flexible schedule, Opal’s the kind of committed companion who will be happiest by your side. She does best with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and prefers being the only pampered pet in the house—she’ll tolerate other dogs but wants all your attention. Opal gets along with children, making her a fit for families or singles looking for a loyal, warm-hearted friend. She’s already spayed and vaccinated with adoption through a local Dallas rescue. For those born August 10th, like Opal, loyalty and dependability run deep (making her a natural Leo). Ready to add this gentle soul to your home? Give them the home they have been waiting for.
