Opal's Story

We are shocked that small hound queen Opal is still looking for her furever home as she is serious hound girl perfection! <br/><br/>Voted most statuesque hound and best squirrel & bird watch hound of the HERO House, Opal is about 8 years young, about 35-40lbs. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Opal is currently in Greensboro, NC.
