Ophelia - Boxer and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Lewis Center, Ohio

Meet Ophelia

Ophelia found herself in a county shelter that does not keep puppies for long. On top of that, Ophelia had a limp and was intermittently using one of her back legs.

Once in our care, Ophelia's limp was evaluated by our vet and in addition to be abandoned, she also had broken femur that healed before we were able to help. This special girl will always have a special little limp.

Ophelia is a world-class snuggler and would love a home with lots of empty laps, loving sibling dogs and soft cuddly blankets. She has experienced how living on cold cement floors behind bars feels and never wants to go back.

Ophelia is 11 weeks old and 8.6 pounds - so she will most likely be on the smaller side.

Apply to meet her at ricopetrecovery.org. Adoption fee is $350 and includes first 2 sets of vaccines, spay and microhip at our partner veterinarian when she is old enough to be spayed at our partner veterinarian. The adopter is responsible for the third and fourth boosters at their own veterinarian.
