The rescue’s notes on Opal aka Gladys

Meet Opal Opal is a bright girl with a zest for life and a heart full of love. She's playful, curious, and always ready for her next adventure—whether that's a walk around the neighborhood, a hike on the trails, or a fun training session where she can show off how smart she is. Opal is quick-learning and eager to please, especially if freeze-dried beef liver treats are involved (her absolute favorite!).This social butterfly adores people of all ages and is especially playful with kids. She's friendly and engaging with other dogs too, making her a wonderful companion in a multi-dog household. Opal thrives on interaction and would be happiest in an active home where she can be included in daily activities, outdoor fun, and plenty of playtime.One of Opal's most charming traits is how expressive she is—she loves to "talk" and makes the cutest little sounds when she's excited or happy. She also has some funny rituals during walks and play that are sure to make you smile. After a good dose of exercise and enrichment (she loves food puzzles and chew toys), Opal is content to relax in a sunny spot and soak up the day.Opal is house trained, knows her basic commands, and walks nicely on leash. She's looking for a family who can provide structure, consistency, and lots of mental stimulation—she truly shines with a confident, engaged leader. A home with a secure yard, other friendly dogs, and people who enjoy an active lifestyle would be perfect for her.Opal isn't a fan of being left alone for long periods or loud household appliances like vacuums, so she'll do best in a home where someone is around much of the time and can continue building her confidence.She'd be the perfect second dog.If you're looking for a smart, affectionate, adventure-loving companion who will keep you smiling with her happy chatter and playful spirit, Opal might just be your perfect match.
