His foster family describes him as an absolute toasted marshmallow, always ready to leap like a cartoon horse when it's time for a walk. But don't let his size fool you; Opie is thoroughly convinced that his 73 pounds fit comfortably in your lap, making him a consummate cuddler who thrives on petting and praise. Since coming to the shelter in rough shape, Opie has been healing in a loving foster home, and at around 6 years old, he's now in great health. His foster family has seen him blossom into a more confident and happy gentleman, relishing in the joy of being loved and cared for. Opie has been very responsive to leash training and enjoys his walks, although he may need space from other dogs to feel completely at ease. Positive reinforcement methods have been key in building good habits for Opie, who is always eager to please and learn. He's looking for someone who will scratch his ears and tell him he's a good boy because, let's face it, Opie is a tender and inveterate cuddler at heart. While he would prefer to be the only pet in the home, he might do well with another mellow dog as a companion. If you're searching for a loving companion, Opie might be the perfect match for you!
