About Opal
Opal is a spayed female Terrier mix, around 2 years old and weighing approximately 13 lbs. She's currently eligible for the foster-to-adopt program, making it an excellent opportunity for those looking to provide a temporary home while considering adoption. Opal would do well with a beginner owner who has some dog care experience, such as fostering or sitting, as she’s expected to be low on the challenge scale due to her breed and age. With a medium energy level, Opal needs daily exercise, ideally a 60-minute walk plus quick potty breaks. Socialization is important for her, so she'll thrive with opportunities to engage outside the home and enjoy mental stimulation through training and interactive toys. While we have not yet assessed how she adapts to a city environment, many dogs adjust well with time. Opal is most likely house-trained, though small accidents can happen as she settles in. She gets along with both dogs and children, but supervision is crucial, especially with kids. Her interactions with cats are still under evaluation, but many small breeds tend to be compatible. Opal is healthy, updated on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped, and ready for her forever home. If you're interested in getting to know her better, don't hesitate to reach out!
