Shelter Puppy – Opal
This is 11-week-old, Great Pyrenees-mix Opal’s first winter. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for someone. That someone, maybe a person who’s dreading winter, can choose to focus on the dreary weather or take Opal home and have the best, most memorable winter ever. Most puppies are born in spring. Opal wasn’t. She’ll discover the world this winter. Someone can watch.
Someone can watch Opal put her paw into her first snow. He can see Opal discover how wonderful indoors is, watch her race to the door. At times, he and Opal can struggle against nature together, shivering as Opal hurries to find the right spot outdoors. Together they can celebrate getting warm.
Opal can help someone rediscover the joys that have become unnoticed and underappreciated.
