Meet OPHELIA! Ophelia is a sweetheart. She's a little shy at first, but it doesn't take her long to warm up. She came in with her brother, Quentin, and she's much more confident when she's with him. The two do not need to be adopted together, but Ophelia would enjoy having another dog in the home. Ophelia likes to play, and with a little coaxing she'll crawl into your lap... and it won't be long before she's totally comfortable being cuddled and insisting on it!

Ophelia is a 6 month old Hound/Doberman mix and she currently weighs 31 lbs.

The Doberman Pinscher is a sleek, powerful breed known for its loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. Developed in Germany in the late 19th century by Louis Dobermann, this breed was initially bred for guard duty but has since become a beloved companion and a skilled working dog in various fields. With a distinctive appearance, including a lean body, cropped ears, and a docked tail, the Doberman Pinscher is an energetic and trainable breed that excels in activities such as obedience, agility, and scent work. Its distinctive appearance, combined with its fearless yet affectionate temperament, makes the Doberman Pinscher a popular choice for experienced dog owners seeking a devoted and versatile companion.

The hound dog breed is a diverse group known for their incredible hunting abilities and keen sense of smell. These dogs are esteemed for their athleticism, endurance, and loyalty, making them excellent companions for active individuals and families alike. With a rich history of assisting hunters in tracking and trailing game, hounds possess a strong prey drive and a distinctive bay when on the hunt. Hounds come in various sizes and coat types, each with its unique characteristics, but they all share a remarkable intelligence and a friendly disposition.
