My Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/14054
Cinnamon arrived north to Operation Paws for Homes on December 14, 2024. She was pregnant and Heartworm +. She soon gave birth to her 7 puppies and after weaning her pups, where she was an excellent mother, she was moved to another foster. She will be spayed and treated for heartworms and hopefully learn what it feels like to be in a safe and loving home. After treatment she will be available for adoption. Despite the gray hairs on her muzzle (dont prematurely age this gal as it is typical for the boxer breed to get gray a little early) she is guessed to be 3 years of age.
She is guessed to be 3+ years old,
32 pounds,
cat friendly
dog friendly
knows how to sit,
crate trained,

house broken in her fosters home,
gentle, nervous, lower energy,
has the classic Boxer undershot jaw,
shy velcro dog,
would like a playmate to teach her how to be a dog in a safe loving home,

Cinnamon has only been with her family for a short time. She is slowly learning how to be a dog and to relax in her environment with the help of her fosters personal dogs. She will need a family where she is given a structured environment and the necessary time to learn to trust. There is not a mean bone in this gals body and she deserves her chance at being a happy playful pup.
Stay tuned as her bio will be updated as we get to know her..
"This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPHs heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. (OPH) rescues dogs and cats of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters in NC, VA, MD, and SC, reducing the numbers being euthanized. With limited resources, the shelters are forced to put down 50-90% of the animals that come in the front door. OPH provides pet adoption services to families located in VA, DC, MD, PA and neighboring states. OPH is a 501(c)(3) organization and is 100% donor funded. OPH does not operate a shelter or have a physical location. We rely on foster families who open their homes to give love and attention to each pet before finding a forever home.All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
