A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Opie the Rottweiler and his owner had lived together for all of Opie’s life, sharing a deep bond and enjoying more than eight years of love and companionship. But when Opie’s owner was diagnosed with an illness that would require several extended hospital stays, their future together was uncertain. Unable to find a temporary foster home for Opie, and without funds to support the cost of long-term boarding, Opie’s owner faced an impossible decision.
Knowing her health would hinder the time and care her friend deserved, Opie’s owner surrendered him to Capital Humane Society with a handwritten letter describing Opie’s history, his personality, and all his favorite things. CHS staff shared Opie’s story and letter in a social media post that emphasized his owner’s selflessness and love for Opie.
After seeing Opie’s post, his future family rushed to meet him. They immediately fell in love with Opie’s gentle personality and adopted him that day! Now, Opie is safe and loved, and enjoys the company of his pet parents, two kids, and another dog. Opie’s new family has even contacted his original owner to plan future visits for the two friends!
