About Opal
I'm Opal and I'm looking for a new family to call my own.
What I need in my new home:
• Daily walks, trips to the park or beach & playtime in the backyard
• Further training with basic doggie manners
• To be allowed inside with my family
• A doggie playmate would be great, if not then lots of socialising with other dogs
• I am scared of cats but may be ok with a slow introduction.
• I like both male and female dogs
• I have lots of energy so an active family is a must
• Secure Fencing (6ft Colorbond or equivalent)
• Lots of toys and mental stimulation
• Lots of love and attention
Things that I don't want in my new home:
• To be left alone in the backyard without any interaction
• Not to be allowed inside with my family
• Never to go on a walk or rides in the car
My best features:
• LOVE people
• Super sweet nature
• LOVE other dogs
• Very playful
• I am VERY food motivated
• Wiggle butt
• Gentle
• Social butterfly
• I love toys
• I love attention and having snuggles with my humans
Where I need to improve / Training required
• I can be a bit bouncy when excited -training should stop this
• I can be a little erratic and strong on the lead - training and walking me in a halti or harness may stop this
• Unsure in new situations - more socialising is needed
• I am head shy around certain movements above my head - desensitization should help with this
• I was very very skinny when I arrived at the shelter - because of this I really hoover down my food. I will benefit from a slow feeder bowl and to be fed separate from any other pets.
• I will require full basic training as I've had no training experience yet
MUST STAY AT THE SHELTER UNTIL DESEXED
ANY EXISTING DOGS AT HOME MUST COME TO THE SHELTER TO MEET OPAL BEFORE AN ADOPTION CAN BE APPROVED
