Ideal Home: Opal and her siblings were found dumped by a river at approximately 4 weeks old. Lucky for them, some amazing people found them and got them to a safe place until we could take them into our care!

Opal is a happy, confident, adventurous and sweet natured little miss who loves a good cuddle but also loves a good explore. She is still young so will need someone home with her at least some of the day. A male dog in the home that can play with her and teach her all the good things would be fab - she has only had good experiences with other dogs so far and she LOVES them.

Opal is a confident little miss who likes to be a part of what's happening. She loves to meet new people and will eagerly wag her little tail as she goes up to them for some pats. She loves to be out doing things with her people and would make a fab bestie for some lucky person. She would also make a great adventure buddy (when she's old enough) we reckon she'd love to go on long walks or be a running partner or even would love farm life! She's been on a farm for visits but is currently living in town.

Opal adores kids and adjusts her play with them depending on their age. She is in a foster home with cats, another adult dog, her brother and budgies but has also been exposed to other dogs outside of the home (on the farm). While being on the farm, she discovered the joys of water and muddy puddles and it's safe to say she's a HUGE fan! She may have also followed one of the big dogs into the swimming pool... whoops. But it didn't phase her at all, and she still loves to play in water. She's also very toy and food motivated which makes training her a breeze. She picks up new routines and tricks very quickly.

Opal is already fantastic at toilet and will let you know she needs to go out. She will need hoomans prepared to continue his learning and socialisation and willing to teach her all the good things a puppy should know in order to be a great member of doggy society.

Opal must be allowed to live inside the home so she can be a real member of the family.
