Opi is one of the sweetest,
cutest little Chihuahuas you could ever hope to meet!
He's got beauty, brains, and personality plus. He loves
everyone he meets and has never met a stranger. He
always has kisses ready for the people that want them, and
brightens the day of everyone around him. Opi gets along
beautifully with both dogs and cats, and loves to play with
other dogs. He's especially sweet and playful with the
puppies in his foster home, like the favorite uncle that
everyone loves. He would enjoy having another dog in his
new home, but if you want him to be your only star, he'd be
fine with that too if he gets lots of attention. To see
a video of Opi in action, check out
You probably noticed that Opi
has only three legs, but we never say he's missing a leg,
because he doesn't miss it at all! He runs like the wind
and can hold his own in a game of tug-o-war or when wrestling
with the other dogs. The puppies in his foster home jump
on his back and are always bumping into him, and he doesn't
wobble or bat an eye. He needs help going up flights of
stairs and getting on and off the furniture, but he can go up
and down a ramp with no problems. Opi LOVES to be held
and cuddled, and just wants to be near you. He will
bring a lifetime of love, laughs, and joy to his new family. If
you'd like that family to be yours, please fill out an

Opi is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations
and heartworm preventative.
