Ophelia

My story

Ophelia is a sweet and sensitive German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love, but she needs time to show it. She's fearful of new people, especially men, and takes her time to trust. However, once she feels safe and gets to know you, she transforms into a ball of affection, jumping with excitement and showering you with love.Ophelia does well with a couple of dog friends but can be reactive around unfamiliar dogs, so slow and proper introductions are essential. She'll thrive with continued support and confidence-building leash training, but for now, a securely fenced yard is a must. She's not yet comfortable enough to go on walks for bathroom breaks, so having a safe yard where she can relax and adjust to her new routine is key.Ophelia is looking for a patient, understanding home with someone who can offer her the love, security, and time she needs to blossom into her true, loving self. If you have the heart to help Ophelia grow in confidence and give her a forever home, she'll reward you with endless loyalty and affection.** PLEASE NOTE ** Dog meets and adoptions are by appointment only.
