About Opie

Meet Opie, the lovable big ol’ couch hippo. This 6-year-old, 80-pound pit bull mix has a heart full of affection and a knack for enjoying life’s comforts—couches, belly rubs, and tasty snacks. Opie is a sweetheart who thrives on connection. Once he feels at home, he loves nothing more than lounging beside his people, soaking up those belly rubs. He’s house trained, crate trained, and knows basic commands. He gets along well with female dogs and is waiting for the right person who can give him the time he needs to adjust to a new environment. Having spent a considerable time in shelters, Opie needs a patient and confident adopter. He will require space to decompress and get comfortable. This process does take time, but once he bonds with you, you’ll have a devoted companion who’s eager to share all his love. Due to his size, Opie would do best in a home with children aged 12 and older to ensure everyone can enjoy a safe and happy environment. Opie is neutered and fully vetted, ready to find his forever home. Looking for a big-hearted friend to share your life with? Opie could be your perfect match. Make the leap and see if you can give him the home he’s been waiting for!
