My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Opal is a friendly and easygoing girl! Her ever-wagging tail and soft eyes will melt any heart.
She's patient and easy to leash, making her a breeze to take on walks. Opal loves attention and will come when called, happily allowing all handling and petting, including belly rubs!
Opal is gentle when taking treats and already knows commands like "sit and "down. She's looking for a loving home where she can continue to share her sweet nature and bring lots of joy to her humans!

Come meet Opal today-you won't want to leave without her!

Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Meet Opal at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering her.

Behavior notes:
8/31/24 staff noted: Opal is very friendly and takes treats very gently.

8/30/24 volunteer notes: We took Opal out for a stretch. She had multiple clips so was full of energy. She was excited to get out and receive human interaction. Opal is rarely without her signature smile and excitedly welcomed all over pets and belly rubs. She enjoyed treats and took them nicely. With some nutrition and love, Opal will be the crown jewel in any tiara. Please come and meet her today!
