Oppal Briard & Bouvier des Flandres Mix St. Cloud, MN

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.
AKA Ravyn. She was named Oppal just a day before we took her in as a foster. She had no response to that name the first day or two. My 6 year old son came up with the name Ravyn. She responds to being called Ravyn.

She is extremely patient with my younger son and will cuddle with him but when he's being annoying she has no reaction or response. I genuinely think she is the perfect family dog!

She does however love to hog all of attention and doesn't enjoy sharing her humans love with other dogs. She will very easily become the highlight of someone's home!

She is much bigger in person than photos show, but despite her size she walks on a leash without pulling and even leaves slack while walking. She is low energy and does not wrestle and play with our high energy dogs. She is definitely a Gentle Giant. She is a very large lap pet. Once she identifies a person as her caretaker she follows steps taken to be right by their side. When stopped she will just sit next to you and when laying she will try to be next to you. She is a very loyal companion!

The perfect calm family cuddle girl who will absorb all of the love you have to give to her.
