We are shocked that small hound queen Opal is still looking for her furever home as she is serious hound girl perfection!

Voted most statuesque hound and best squirrel & bird watch hound of the HERO House, Opal is about 8 years young, about 35-40lbs.

Opal is a little on the shy side at first, but once she acclimates to her home, she is a loving, affectionate constant companion who loves to spend her time sprawled out on a couch or bed after her long shifts of watching the trees for critter activity.

Opal is on slow kill treatment (provided by HERO) for heartworms due to her age & smaller body type. This does not stop her from enjoying the yard on a sunny day & shorts romps in the yard with the pack. Opal will play for short periods of time, but like any senior gal, she is way more interested in relaxing & getting love than playing with the pack.

Opal prefer a calm home where she can enjoy the simple good life. She does well with our toddler when he is not being a crazy toddler, but often avoids him & his toddler antics. Opal would does love being loved on, so calmer, older children should be fine.

Opal is seriously one of the most well behaved hounds we have ever had, though sje can get a little bouncy and let her hound hound shine for food & treats.

Unlike many hounds, we believe Opal would be amazing as an only dog. She does not like being in a crate and is mot destructive when left out alone in the home. She prefers to be a homebody, but will go for short walks and did well on doggy daycare in the past.

Opal is currently in Greensboro, NC. If interested in Opal, apply at HeroHounds.org/adopt
