Female
Age
4 Months old
Say hello to Opal, the sassy little gem with a mind of her own and the looks to get away with it. 💖 This 3-month-old Husky–Cattle Dog mix has perfected the art of selective hearing—unless, of course, food is involved. Then suddenly, she’s all ears.
Opal comes when called (especially if snacks are promised) and is hard at work mastering her crate and potty training. She’s smart, bold, and just the right amount of mischievous. If she wants something, she’ll either tell you in no uncertain terms or just help herself—because patience is so overrated.
She loves to mimic her mom and “correct” her siblings like she’s the boss… which, to be fair, she kind of is. Every lesson she “teaches” somehow seems to work out in her favor. Coincidence? Opal thinks not. She is hesitant around other dogs and loves to chase her cat housemate.
If you’re looking for a confident, clever, food-motivated pup who keeps life interesting (and full of laughter), Opal’s your girl. 🌟

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
