Opal

Miss Opal is a Shih Tzu mix that's estimated to be around 8 years old and is 12 lbs of love and devotion. <br/><br/>Opal is a bit reserved at first but blossoms into a bubbly little girl with some patience and kindness. She loves to spend her days rolling around on her blankets and squeaking her toys like it's her own personal concert. She thinks of herself as a personal assistant and loves to follow her foster dad around the house, helping with whatever chores he does. When she winds down for the day, she enjoys curling up in a warm lap and basking in the sounds of her favorite Netflix shows. Her tongue is perpetually out and makes her the perfect model for cute photos. <br/><br/>Opal came to us with matted hair and untreated allergy issues that required a full shave. Her skin is clearing up nicely now with regular meals and medicated baths. But she may need lifelong medical management(allergy meds and/or special food) as needed. She is missing some patches of fur, but it is growing in more as her skin clears. Her fur is as soft as velvet and will require some light brushing and occasional grooming as it grows out again. <br/> <br/>Opal is puppy pad trained and working hard on her outside potty training. Chicken is her favorite treat and is helping her with her recall and kennel training. She gets along well with other dogs and even cats. <br/><br/>Opal would thrive in a calm household with an owner that is looking for a personal shadow and lap warmer. She has lots of love to give and her owners will be benefit from a pup that adores them. <br/> <br/><br/>Opal's adoption fee is $200. She is fully vetted for 1 year, spayed, microchipped, & on prevention. She will need regular vet visits, though to keep on top of her allergy issues. <br/><br/>Applications to adopt are at www.trackingintheshadows.com. Applicant must live within 1 hour of Elkhart IN.
