About Opal

Opal is a charming 3-4 month old puppy who's growing more in length than height. Rescued along with her brother, Dash, she was found as a stray in a ditch, earning the nickname "Ditch Baby 1" on her vet paperwork. With a mix that likely includes terrier, dachshund, and corgi, she's sure to fill your days with joy and playfulness. Opal loves to frolic with other dogs and absolutely adores human companionship, especially if you have an empty lap available. As with most puppies, she's still learning about the world around her. She's getting accustomed to leashes but will need a little extra help with housebreaking, so a consistent schedule will benefit her. Her adoption fee covers her spay, microchipping, and age-appropriate vaccinations. She's also up to date on preventatives.
