Hiya there! My name is Opal, and I'm the sweetest pup you'll ever meet. I may be a bit of an attention-seeker, but hey, can you blame me? I just love making new friends and being the center of attention. But don't worry, I'm also super easygoing and friendly, so you can count on me to be a loyal and loving companion. I can't get enough of the good things in life, like snuggling up for a movie night or going on long walks. And you better believe I'll be your personal cheerleader, always there to lend a paw (or a few kisses) when you need it. So if you're looking for a furry friend who will always make you smile, then I'm your girl! Let's be best buds, shall we?I currently weigh ~51 lbs.How did I get here? Transferred from Harnett County Animal Shelter where I came in as a stray.**I have been diagnosed with heartworm disease and will begin treatment soon - please speak with an adoption specialist for details. I am currently living at the admission center - please fill out a survey and select a phone appointment to complete the adoption process. Once that process is complete, your adoption specialist will schedule a time for you to meet me in person!**~My adoption fee is $120.00.~Many adoptions will take approximately 1 hour or more. Adoption requirements and tips to speed up the adoption process: Please be able to provide a valid photo I.D. with your current address (If your I.D. does not reflect your current address, bring a piece of mail with your name and address on it) Be able to prove that you are allowed to have a pet where you live (proof of home ownership or a copy of your rental lease including the specific pet policy) Bring along all members of your household, including dogs for an introduction to a new dog. However, we do recommend meeting with an adoption counselor before involving children in the pet selection process. To avoid longer wait times, we strongly recommended that dog-to-dog meetings take place after 1:00pm. Participate in adoption counseling process to learn adoption guidelines and adoption options.
