A tale of two Opies. Actually, there’s only one Opie here with a tail. The red-headed Opie is Ron Howard who played Andy Griffith’s son on the (coincidentally named) Andy Griffith Show. Opie with the tail is a resident of the Erie Humane Society. Why you should adopt Opie the dog (OTD) rather than red-headed Opie (RHO):

OTD is very affectionate, loves giving kisses, and appreciates a good butt scratch. RHO is affectionate too but would likely press charges if you tried scratching his butt.

OTD will happily eat the same thing every day. RHO likes variety in his meals, thus making him more expensive to feed.

Both Opies need grooming but you’ll spend a lot less clothing OTD.

OTD gets along with other dogs and children, but has not been tested with cats. RHO is allergic to cats, children, and long-haired dogs.

OTD walks well on the leash. RHO walks well off leash.

It appears there is no contest- Opie the Dog is the paws down winner. Come meet Opie at the Erie Humane Society.

Come meet Opie at Clear the Shelters this Saturday from 12noon-5p. Opie the Dog will be giving pawtographs!
