My story

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

OPHELIA

  • Female, spayed
  • 3 years old
  • Pit bull terrier
  • 62 lbs.
  • Microchipped, up-to-date on core vaccines and takes monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention
  • Follow Ophelia on Instagram at #lovepaws_ophelia

Whoever ends up with this certified good girl should buy some lotto tickets, because you're a lucky one! Ophelia was rescued from the PG County urgent list after being found as a stray and it's crazy to think no one ever came to the shelter to claim her. Ophelia is SUCH a sweetheart with a gentle soul. She is potty trained (she even listens to the command "go potty") and crate trained. In her foster home, she sleeps in her crate and doesn't make a peep until we let her out in the morning - as soon as we open the crate door, she greets us with kisses and the cutest booty wiggles!

In the day time, she spends several hours in her crate and is happy to rest and relax there. She has a helicopter tail! You better make sure you don't set your wine glass on the coffee table because it might just go flying. She is a SUPER fast eater and will definitely benefit from a complicated slow feeder bowl, snuffle mat or puzzles for her meals.

Ophelia is super sweet and playful. She love's plush squeaky toys the most so far and also loves tearing into the stuffed chicken. She loves to play with her canine foster brother and sister. She can play a little rough, which works for her foster siblings, but may not work for every home. She would do best with other dogs who can give her corrections. Ophelia would also be happy as the only dog in your home where she can steal all the attention! She does this very silly thing when playing fetch where when she runs back to you, she doesn't stop and she just barrels straight into you then PLOPS hard to the ground. Once you grab the ball, she hops right back up and is ready to go! Ophelia also has velvety soft fur that is almost all silver except for her belly and her paws - it looks like she's wearing cute little socks and mittens! Ophelia is ready for a forever home where she can receive the love and loyalty that she so freely gives! Could you be the one?!

More about this rescue

LOVEPAWS was founded as an animal intake prevention program to help keep pets in homes and out of shelters. To do this, we offer various types of assistance to pet owners including our pet food pantry and our re-homing service. We help find new homes for pets whose owners cannot keep them but do not want to surrender their pet to the shelter. While our focus is on Prince George’s County, MD, we offer these services to the entire DC Metro area.

Our scope and mission has grown quickly since we were founded in 2019 and we now pull dogs and cats from open-admission, high-intake shelters in MD, VA and other Southern states. This has expanded our rescue to be able to save dogs and cats of all breeds. Our expanded mission is to save the lives of abandoned dogs and cats and place them in loving and permanent homes. While we are a non-breed-specific rescue, we are a pittie-friendly rescue that has a soft spot for the pit bulls at the Prince George’s County animal shelter. They face the heartbreaking reality of the county’s pit bull ban which makes them unavailable for adoption to the public. We are committed to stepping forward whenever we can and wherever there is the greatest need.

LOVEPAWS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an exclusively foster-based rescue with our foster network spanning MD, DC, and VA.
