Maltese and West Highland White Terrier Westie Dogs Available for Adoption in Nashville, Tennessee
OPAL
Maltese, West Highland White Terrier Westie
🇺🇸
Nashville, Tennessee
April 27th
female, medium, senior
DESCRIPTION
Opal came to us not spayed and with a couple of mammary masses and a mass in her ovaries. We have since spayed her and had her masses removed and biopsied and all looks good! Eyes will need to be kept on her but she is ready to find her forever home-yay!
Opal is suuuuch a sweet girl and loves to snuggle and is great with other dogs. Really we think she could be good with any family!
It would probably be best if Opal was in a home with no stairs-she does not like to be picked up and stairs are a challenge for her. But her fosters have been working with her on this and she is getting better. She may have some arthritis that causes her to really not liked to be picked up and this is the only time she will get grumpy. Other than that she is a sweetie and does great in a car and loves to travel! 4/27/26 4:14 PM
