A volunteer writes: Sweet-as-candy Opie first introduced himself to me by licking my hand gently when I went to open his cage. Affectionate and wiggly at all times, Opie loves people, treats, and wagging his tail like crazy to show just how happy to see you he is! He walks very easily on the leash without pulling, seems to be housetrained, and has the sweetest little permanent puppy face. At 4 years old, Opie is over his “wild child” phase and ready to settle in with a new family. Come and see him at the Brooklyn ACC today!
