Personality:
Oprington is a calm and observant girl who loves taking in all the comings and goings around the shelter. She likes to watch the world around her before deciding it is time to investigate, and once she feels comfortable, her playful and energetic side begins to shine. Alert, watchful and naturally inquisitive, Oprington is showing some lovely confidence and is ready to keep discovering just how much fun the world can be.
Tamariki – Any age provided proper intros and supervision.
Cats – Seems ok with proper intros and training.
Kūri – Friendly. Ongoing socialiastion needed due to age.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 5.5kgs. Likely to mature large in size.
Ideal home:
This sweet girl could fit into a variety of loving households with people who will continue showing her the world at her own pace and keep that curious little mind engaged. Ongoing training, socialisation and plenty of fun adventures will help her continue growing into a confident and well rounded companion. With a little guidance, encouragement and lots of love, we think Oprington has all the makings of a wonderful addition to her new whānau.
Oprington is ready to put her curious little nose to work investigating her way straight into someone’s heart!
