About Opie

Opie is a lovable Husky who narrowly escaped euthanasia at Animal Control. Sponsored by a kind-hearted individual, he was given a second chance at life. When Opie arrived, he was in rough shape: severely matted and neglected. Our team immediately addressed his discomfort, especially since some areas had to be shaved for his health. We also discovered that Opie is Heartworm Positive, but we're working closely with our veterinarian to ensure he gets the treatment he needs for a full recovery. Now, Opie is learning how to relax, eat well, and heal from his past. He’s already revealing his sweet and resilient character beneath all those struggles. With love and patience, we're confident he will once again become the beautiful Husky he's meant to be. Opie currently enjoys a foster home in Tennessee and transport can be arranged for approved adopters in Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
