“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”  ―  Dr. Seuss

That quote makes me sigh because I just KNOW my family is out there waiting to love me! My name is Ophelia and I am a young, 13 pound, black and tan sweetie. I was found as a stray by a good Samaritan and now I am looking for my forever home! I am crate trained and when I get sleepy, I will go curl up in my crate and take a nap. I am gentle with people and I do great with kids and puppies! I take a bit of time to get used to other dogs, but I think with enough time, I could have a friend. I love to play with and shred toys-- but look out! I like my toys and can be a little protective of them. Hey, they ARE mine. I am learning to walk on a leash and am improving every time I go on a walk. GUESS WHAT? I am now house trained!!  When I need to go out, I am very persistent about getting you attention so you can let me out. I haven't had accident in over two weeks! Last night I slept in the big bed and when I got up, I ate my breakfast before going out to do my business. I am bit timid and tend to be on the quiet side. If you are looking for a companion to give your love to, please put your application in for me!
