This is Opie (Opala Bale). She’s the other dog we are fostering (with Magpie). She also happens to be the dog we are most likely to adopt.

She’s very interactive and likes cuddles, very social and seems fine with other dogs. Rocks likes her more than he does Magpie, he is much more tolerant of Opie. Walks very well on the lead.

Opie is quite small and has lots of bald patches, her thighs and tummy are quite bare. She’s a great eater and well behaved around the house; she’s just learned how to walk down stairs.

Opie’s main issue is that she had surgery for a dislocated right talus a couple of years ago. This was repaired with a pin through the bones into her heel bone, and a tension wire which was subsequently removed. However, despite the pin having clearly broken, no remedial action was taken to correct that. Consequently there a possibility that further surgery might be required, and even if that is not necessary there will likely be future issues with arthritis. She doesn’t seem to have any issues walking, although she happens to have a small corn on her right foot that bothers her sometimes.

Opie is a great looking and very well behaved dog with lots of character, really delightful.
