Opal is a total sweetie, she loves attention and loves to cuddle. Loves playing with her fosters dogs and is great with the kids in the house.
Now she does get overexcited in her play sometimes and needs to be reminded to take it down a notch, but she is responsive to correction and again loves the attention. We think Opal needs a loving but experienced family who has another confident dog who can help her steady herself when fear takes over.
She is a young gal whose past haunts her but we are trying to help her realize the world ain't so bad. We ask that you give Opal some consideration..all she wants is to be with you.
She is spayed, and up-to-date on vaccines and preventatives.
This dog's adoption fee is $450.
***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs....all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many!
Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training - no exceptions! They are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives and will need to be spayed/neutered at the age of 6 months. Please note, this pup's immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age and therefore, s/he is not suited for Apartment/Condo living or Town homes without a private fenced yard and will not be able to go to public places where s/he could possibly be exposed to the germs of unvaccinated dogs, such as PetSmart/PetCo and dog parks until s/he is 16 weeks old.
Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.

Additional adoption info
Our adoption coordinators have conversations each applicant to ensure a good match for the pet and person/family, perform vet checks if there are current pets. Adopters must come to either the foster home or an event to meet the pet. If the dog/cat is too young to be altered, a deposit is taken and our spay/neuter coordinator follows up ensuring the procedure is done. Below is our link to our dog application. We also have a cat application but there is only space for 1 link.

More about this rescue
A kitten named Freckles, who was diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), and a desire to help more at-risk cats and dogs find forever homes, were the catalyst that ignited Athena Reizakis to start Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue. While our main mission is to place animals in need in loving homes, we also place a special emphasis on the “underdog.” We will not let age or a medical diagnosis, such as FIP or heartworm, be a barrier in giving that animal the chance at the life they so deserve.
Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue, founded in December of 2023, is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a foster-based rescue with a volunteer network spanning across Maryland, DC, and Virginia. We are committed to creating awareness within the communities we serve and working towards the best interest of the animals in our care. It is not just about finding homes for pets in need but finding a home that is right for them.
Freckles Foundation works with shelters, other rescue groups, community organizations, and individuals to identify cats and dogs in need of rescue. Once in our care we provide these animals with necessary veterinary care and a loving, nurturing foster home until they are adopted. Cats and dogs receive vaccinations, preventatives, and spay/neuter (if age appropriate) prior to adoption. Our rescues are cared for in our network of volunteer foster homes and provided with food, shelter, socialization, training, and other necessary care while awaiting adoption.
We are funded solely by donations and adoption fees. We are 100% volunteer-based currently.
