Meet Ophelia – The Queen of Zoomies! 

Looking for a fun-loving, toy-obsessed, social butterfly to brighten your days? Allow us to introduce Ophelia, a 1-year-old ball of happy chaos wrapped in black wiry fur!

Ophelia has two speeds: “Play hard” and “Nap like a champ.” She’s never met a toy she didn’t love, a dog she didn’t befriend, or a human she couldn’t charm. She believes life is better when shared—with you, your friends, and maybe that squeaky toy she carries everywhere. She will happily follow you around the house, possibly with a toy in mouth. Like the little mermaid, she wants to be where the people are.

She’s already potty trained and crate trained, and she’s working on her basic obedience (she’s a quick learner, especially when treats are involved).

Because she’s a spirited gal who lives for zoomies and outdoor adventures, Ophelia would thrive in an active home with a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and show off her goofy gallop.

A note from Ophelia herself:

“Cats? No thank you. I prefer my friends to bark, not meow.”

With her minimal-shed wiry coat and boundless personality, Ophelia is the perfect blend of low-maintenance grooming and high-energy fun. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh daily, keep you on your toes, and snuggle up when it’s all over—Ophelia is your girl.

Come meet this goofy, lovable go-getter and let her steal your heart (and maybe your favorite tennis ball).
