Opal

Meet Opal, a young female Boxer with a heart as big as her journey! Opal's story began on the streets of Tijuana, where a heartbreaking picture of her emaciated and covered in ticks found its way to us. Homeless and struggling, we knew we had to bring her to safety. Once here, we immediately took her to the vet for bloodwork and a 4DX test to check for any tick-borne diseases. Everything came back negative, and her blood work is perfectly normal! We were thrilled!

Fast forward a couple months, Opal was on medical status as we worked on slowly gaining weight and building her strength. During her spay appointment, she almost died on the table and it was found that she did in fact contract 2 tick-borne diseases! She had contracted Erlichia and Anaplasmosis. We cured the tick-borne diseases, and her blood platelets were damaged. So she has been battling Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia, going every two weeks for routine blood draws and medicine. During the vet visits, we also discovered that Opal is deaf, but that doesn't stop her from being the sweetest, most affectionate dog. She adores being with her humans and thinks she's a lap dog - she'll cuddle up with you any chance she gets!
