Meet opal
Like her name, Opal is a gem: she is smart, loving and eager to please. Weighing in at just under 30 pounds, this three-year-old has lots of youthful energy and enjoys doing zoomies and chasing toys (balls, Kong toys and frisbees). She doesn’t fully have the “return the toy” concept of the game of Fetch, but she’s working on it. She is motivated both by treats and by praise, and quick to pick up on what is expected, so she will be easy to train.
Some dog-savvy neighbors of the foster pointed out that Opal seems to enjoy training sessions and would probably do well in agility training. The animal shelter she came from said that she did well in doggie play groups, but PAW has not yet tested her with other dogs. She seems to be OK with older children (9 or older), but her habit of jumping would at this point not make her the best choice for young children. On the other hand, she seems to be extremely trainable and is already making progress on the jumping behavior. When not prancing around with a toy in her mouth, Opal is a world-class cuddler and will happily join you on the couch.
PAW adopts in the MD, VA, DC and northern PA region.
