My story

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


Hi! My name is Opie and I am from Minnesota.

From his foster: Opie is a love, he is great with all people and animals. We go to the dog park every morning, his preference is to walk by my side but he has begun to play with other pups, just not for too long.
He is house and crate trained, I have never put him in a crate but confined him to my kitchen for the first few days I had him and he never made a peep or did anything destructive. At night he likes to sleep by the door of my bedroom, he is definitely true to his breed in that regard and likes to keep everyone safe. That said, he only barks a few times when someone is at the door and not at all once they enter. After an initial sniff he is all smiles and wags to whoever came through the door.
Opie will make a great companion for someone that is actively engages him. He would not do well if he was alone for long periods on a regular bases.

Note: Opie did mark a couple spots in my home, he was met with 3 females and 1 male upon entering so I can't blame him. He did great wearing a belly wrap, he did not bother or try and take it off. He only wore it when I wasn't home, I no longer need to put it on him and he has the run of the house.
He does tend to get anxious when I am leaving and is definitely happy once I'm home. It does not take long for him to relax but I would hate for him to be left too long and/or too much. He is most happy when laying next to or near his person with his eyes on the door, plus his ear and neck rubs!

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
