Savoring her second chance at life is sweet 2-year-old Opal. The 50-pound brindle beauty, so calm and so cuddly, loves snuggling with her foster mom, resting her head on her and then prancing prettily about. Moderately energetic, she enjoys playing with toys and going for walks, honing her leash skills with each walk, and engages more easily with dogs her own size. Fond of car rides but not of having her ears or feet touched, Opal loves all treats, accepting them gently, is motivated by food, toys and love, presently knows “sit,” “off,” and “no,” and is at work on her puppylike manners. Almost fully crate and house-trained, this sociable sweetheart should thrive in a loving home that will perfect her manners, teach her about boundaries (she considers everyone her friend) and help her feel comfortable with having her ears and feet touched. Then, once her training, including her commands, is complete, Opal will shine fur-ever like the jewel that she is!

 

Animal Rescue of the Rockies believes every pet should find a wonderful and caring home. To ensure each pet finds the best possible home, we ask you fill out our adoption application so we can learn more about you and your household. We review each application received in the order submitted and will contact you within 48 hours (please check your spam folder for our emails).

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives!  A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you. 

The adoption fee for this pet is $425. Our adoption fee covers the following:

Spay/neuter

Microchip

DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for all DAPP boosters after adoption.

Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog. Adopters shall be responsible for any rabies vaccinations after adoption.
