About Opal
Meet Opal! Opal is a gentle Maltese who was surrendered from a commercial breeding facility in Lancaster County. She has faced many challenges in her life, having spent her years as a 'mill mama.' Right now, she's a bit shy and finding her footing in a new world, slowly learning to trust the people around her. This sweet girl truly deserves a loving family who understands her past and can provide the patience needed for her to flourish. Opal thrives in the company of other animals, so a home with at least one dog would help her feel secure. Adopting a puppy mill survivor like Opal is a rewarding experience, as these dogs often find everything new and daunting, from the sight of stairs to the sound of TVs. It is crucial for her new family to approach her slowly and keep expectations realistic while offering support and understanding. With time and positive reinforcement, Opal can become a joyful, confident companion. If you’re ready to take on the beautiful journey of helping a shy dog blossom, consider opening your heart to Opal. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
