About Opal
Meet Opal, a seven-month-old Kelpie with a sparkle in her eye and enough energy to keep life exciting! This clever girl is always on the go, eager to explore, learn, and be part of whatever adventure comes next. Like many working breeds, Opal comes with both an active body and an even busier mind, and she's searching for a family that will embrace both. Whether it's training, puzzle toys, agility, scent work, or learning new tricks, Opal is ready to show off just how smart she can be for a family willing to invest in her incredible potential.
Opal is looking for an active home that understands the needs of a young working dog and sees her intelligence as the gift it truly is. She thrives when given opportunities to learn and would love a family that enjoys the challenge and reward of helping a bright young dog reach her full potential. In return, you'll gain a loyal companion who is always ready for life's next adventure.
This social young lady would also love an older canine sibling to show her the ropes. A confident, respectful dog friend could help continue her education in all things "good dog manners" while giving her a playmate to burn off some of that endless puppy enthusiasm. With the right guidance, plenty of enrichment, and lots of love, Opal is sure to blossom into an incredible companion who will make her future family proud every single day. 🐾

Adoption details
BARC adoption officers will work with you to help you find a dog or cat that matches your needs, they will discuss things like yard fencing, exercise requirements, other pets and family members, lifestyle factors, and breed experience. To help make this as quick and easy as possible, we ask you complete and adoption questionnaire (located on our website, or you can complete on when you visit). This helps ensure that we are introducing you to the most suitable animals we have available.
We encourage all members of the household to attend a meet and greet with a pet prior to adopting an animal. If the animal being adopted is a dog, we will also require existing dogs in the household to attend the shelter as part of the meet and greet.
Holds can not be placed on animals over the phone, and can only be applied at the discretion of management.
