Sophia was found as a stray in 2024, emaciated and crying in the rain in someone's backyard. Since then she has been in foster care and has blossomed into a healthy and happy pup who is looking for her forever home.
Here are some fun facts about Sophia: She is a medium energy dog who likes to play with her toys from time to time and will sometimes beckon you to play along. That said she will just as easily curl up next to you in bed or on the couch (she's quite the cuddler!). She enjoys giving doggy hugs and kisses and will greet you with the most exuberant "welcome home", complete with zoomies and a tail wagging at high speed. Going for walks or jogs is one of her favorite things to do, as well as visiting new parks and places to explore. She is a quick learner who knows commands like "sit", "lay down", "spin around", "paw", "back up", and "wait." She is also very food motivated which has proven highly effective in training.
Sophia would probably do best in a 1 dog, all adult household, ideally with a yard and plenty of space. She can be shy at first, especially with men; therefore, she would benefit from someone who is patient and preferably has experience with fearful dogs. Once she warms up to you however, she will melt your heart!
