My story

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

We adopted Opie as a puppy. He's a 7-year-old licking, energetic giant lover of a dog but due to our son who has health needs, Opie needs a new home. A place where he can get lots of attention, go on lots and lots of walks, and have access to a creek. Even though he hates swimming, he loves running through water. He is a fierce protector of his family and loves all the attention but though he is a good kids he is completely unaware of his giant stature. He will knock down tiny humans especially when he gets excited but he does not do it on purpose. Older children who can keep up with his energy and dont mind him trying to be a lap dog will be a more appropriate option for any new home with children. He will spend hours playing catch and knows that the only way to get the ball thrown again is if he places it back in your hand. Opie or Op will offer up as many kisses as you are willing to take and make sure that you never forget he loves you.
