Opie - Fox Terrier and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Pass Christian, Mississippi

Meet Opie – 9 Pounds of Love and Personality!



Little Opie’s story could have ended tragically. He was discovered trapped inside a plastic bin with a lid on it, where he’d been confined for an unknown amount of time. Thankfully, someone found him before it was too late!



We believe Opie is a 3-year-old Fox Terrier mix. At just 9 pounds, he’s still a little underweight, but he’s making wonderful progress!



Opie is a loyal, loving companion who enjoys playing with other dogs. In typical little-dog fashion, he may give newcomers a little growl, but he warms up once he’s comfortable. He’s been fantastic with children, although larger adults can sometimes intimidate him.



He’s also doing very well with his potty training when given regular opportunities to go outside.



Despite his heartbreaking beginning, Opie is a happy little fellow with enormous ears, a big personality, and so much love to give!



Opie survived being forgotten in a plastic bin. Now he deserves to be treasured in a forever home.
