Opal's Story
Visitors are limited to approved applicants only. Please fill out an adoption application if you are interested in stopping by. We will be in touch once your application is approved to set up a visit.<br/><br/>Adopt: lighthouseanimalshelter.org/adopt<br/>Foster: lighthouseanimalshelter.org/foster<br/><br/>---<br/>Opal is a sweet, gentle girl with a heart of gold. She may be shy when meeting new people, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the most loving, loyal companion. Those who know her best describe her as a total sweetheart who just wants to be near her people—soaking up affection and giving endless cuddles in return.<br/><br/>She’s completely housebroken, well-behaved indoors, and very food-motivated, which makes her an eager learner and a great candidate for continued training and socialization.<br/><br/>Opal is the total package:<br/>?? Quiet and gentle<br/>?? Completely housebroken (zero accidents!)<br/>?? Doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t<br/>?? Zoomie enthusiast (followed by serious nap mode)<br/>?? Expert cuddler once she feels safe<br/><br/>Opal is dog selective and needs a cat-free home. For now, she would do best as the only pet, giving her the space and time to settle in at her own pace. Once she feels comfortable, her personality truly shines—gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet joy.<br/><br/>Her dream home is a calm, loving environment with someone who understands that trust takes time—but that the reward is a bond unlike any other.<br/><br/>Give Opal the chance she’s been waiting for, and you’ll gain a best friend who will love you with all her heart.<br/><br/>Other Dogs<br/>Dog Social - but will need to be the only dog in the home<br/><br/>Cats<br/>No Cats<br/><br/>Children<br/>We do not have kids to test with. We always recommend supervising children around dogs/puppies at all times<br/>---<br/><br/>We do not adopt on a first-come-first-serve basis, but rather by the best match between dog and family, although we will factor in the order of applications if there are equally good matches.<br/><br/>Our adoption fee for adult dogs is $500 which covers the costs of vetting (spay, vaccinations, heartworm testing, preventatives while in our care, deworming and microchip) and any boarding or transport fees incurred in each dog's rescue. Senior dogs are $250.
