Notes from Advocates 4 Animals Pet Food Pantry

Some things are just too precious to put a price on, and a puppy’s love is one of them! Meet Opal, an adorable little girl who’s ready to find the family who will treasure her forever.

Born

August 28, 2026

, Opal is a possible

Hound/Heeler mix

with a whole world waiting for her to explore! She’s still a young pup with so much growing, learning, and discovering ahead of her.

There will be new toys to investigate, exciting smells to sniff, puppy antics to laugh about, and plenty of sweet moments that make you fall in love a little more each day. ❤️

Opal is at the perfect age to start building a lifetime of memories with her very own family. She’ll need patience, consistency, and continued puppy training to help her grow into a confident, well-mannered companion. In return, you’ll get the joy of watching her personality blossom and knowing you helped shape her future.
