ADOPT ME! I’m Opal – the world’s sweetest tripod dog. My original so-called owners neglected me in a backyard with three other dogs. My back left leg developed a blood clot and my foot went numb. For months it just dragged behind me and got gnawed on by the other dogs. Food was scarce and I often was left out of mealtimes because of my injury. Finally, my people took me to the vet but only because they wanted to put me down. I was so scared! By this time my paw was just a stub, and pretty gross because it was infected and rotten. The kind vet offered to amputate my leg for free, but my owners still wanted me put to sleep! Thank goodness I was relinquished to the vet who rescued me, did my surgery and saved my life. Even though I have been through a lot, I LOVE people. I am so grateful for kindness, food, and attention, I want to kiss everyone I meet!
I am getting around great on my three legs and have discovered I love cats – they are really fun nap partners. I would love a home of my own with kind people who will care for me forever. I’m kind of a miracle myself, so I believe my special dream of a family who loves me will come true soon!
Opal is a healthy 1 year old, female, 3 legged pitbull mix. She is spayed and fully vaccinated.
