Meet Opal
Opal is a beautiful 3-year-old, 29-lb Border Collie / Australian Shepherd mix with a sharp mind and a huge heart.
We adopted her in November 2025 and have invested months in training, daily exercise, and working with a behavioral trainer. After much thought, we’ve realized our home isn’t the best long-term fit. Our son has special needs, and the dynamics in our home seem to increase Opal’s anxiety. Because we love her, we want to find a home where she can truly thrive.
Opal would do best with an experienced owner in a calm household. She’d likely be happiest as the only dog, though she socializes well off-leash and lives peacefully with our cats.
She’s a smart, high-energy working breed who loves walks, fetch, and especially frisbee. She’s very food-motivated and eager to learn. Opal is fully house- and crate-trained, sleeps in her crate at night, and knows many commands.
