We rescued Opal, along with her mother and brother Jasper. They had a rough start of probably living on the street and fending for themselves. All have made great strides in less than 2-weeks and are doing nicely. Opal and her brother are 7- to 8-weeks-old (on Thanksgiving) and are ready to make the transition into their forever homes.
Opal (ADOPTED!) currently weighs almost 7 lbs. She is very quiet and a bit timid. Like her mom, she is very gentle, super sweet and submissive in nature. If her brother comes to eat her food, or steals toys from her, she doesn't put up any protest. She was not accustomed to being around people, and needs more human socialization. We are seeking a calm, loving home environment for Opal, with people who have the time and patience to bring her out of her shell and help build her confidence. Her people need to show her that humans and the world are not scary. Opal would NOT do well in a busy household with small children and a lot of activity. She is a delicate flower, who also feels the cold and needs to be warm at night.
Jasper (ADOPTED!) is currently almost 8 lbs. He is your typical playful, friendly puppy, who is full of life. He is a very good eater, and very healthy and round! Jasper is a happy boy, who is great with people and loves human attention and petting. He seems to have a very well balanced, sweet, loving personality. He is bolder than his sister, and he doesn't yet have manners. If he thinks his sister has a fun toy, he will take it from her to play with it himself.
