“We are looking to find a placement for Opie, a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois. He found his way to us after been taken to a local vet as a ‘stray’.  He is not. His owner who is currently under mental health services had entrusted him to a friend; this is the friend who took him to the vet. The owner is homeless and in no position to take him back, which has upset him greatly.  He has signed him over to us so we can start trying to find him a placement rather than wait the 7-day statutory stray days.

We have been told he has been around children from 3 years upward, brought up with cats and gets on with most dogs however introductions should be slow. He has been trained to walk to heel and does tricks.  He is food motivated. Understandably he is confused but he travelled well, allowed us to handle and touch him. He is described as a loyal and typical of the breed, he likes to stick with one person.”

So please meet Opie. We believe he has actually more GSD than Mali. He is microchipped but vaccinations need to be restarted and once he has settled he will be neutered.

Opie has been fine with everyone he has met at the kennels and will be further assessed as he settles in.

This lad will need a home experienced with the breed who can give him the confidence he needs whilst continuing with his socialisation and training a lad of his age needs.
