OPIE
| 8 MONTHS |
Let me tell you the story about Opie – he is an American Bull Dog
mix. Opie ended up at the city shelter (BARC) when he was
abandoned by his owners who were evicted from their home. This
little guy was in a sad shape when we found him in the shelter.
He was absolutely skin and bones, was trembling with fear and
had the saddest look on his face. When he realized that we were
there to give him a treat, he perked up and happily gobbled the
tasty morsel. We were brokenhearted that we had to leave him
there another day before we could rescue him. His time was up
because he was considered ‘unadoptable’ by the shelter. We
knew that underneath all of his misery there was a special little
guy. The next day we returned to pull him out of his misery. You
should have seen the smile on his face when he saw us appear
again at his kennel door. It was priceless!
The first orders for Opie was to get him home, give him a much
needed bath, feed him a good meal, and have him examined by a
vet. Opie was the most perfect little gentleman through the whole
ordeal. Afterwards he pulled himself up on the nearby loveseat
and settled down for a long nap. He must have known that he was
safe at last.
Opie is now in a wonderful foster home where he can regain his
health and recover from the trauma he has been through. Already
Opie enjoys walks with his foster sister, Dixie and even gets along
with the cats in the household. It will take some time and
patience for the healing to be done. Certainly this little boy
deserves a very special place – if you are interested in being that
special place, please fill out the application and we will be in
