Meet Opal! This 4.5-month-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix is ready to steal your heart.

Now, Opal is thriving in her safe, nurturing environment. She's potty trained and enjoys the company of both people and animals, embracing all the joys of puppyhood. With a collection of toys and a cozy place to nap, she knows life can be fun! This spirited girl has come so far and is ready for her next big adventure—a forever family.
