Here's what the humans have to say about me:
SOPHIA: Puppy at heart! Ever meet a 2 year old that has the personality and experience of a puppy?? You are going to fall head over heels in love with this small and sweet girl, who wants nothing more than a warm lap and maybe a cheek to lick.
She was dumped at our shelter with a few other dogs, looked to be some sort of breeding operation where the dogs were not given much more than a room and an occasional meal, but that has not soured Sophia's view of the world and the people and dogs that live in it because she loves everyone. She has started to become playful with us but mostly enjoys her cuddle time.
Although she has lots of buddy walks, she is still learning how to really play and engage with other dogs and could use a patient canine big brother or sister to allow her blossom. She has been a bit shy and fearful with our
IN YOUR FACE dogs but enjoys the company of dogs with her energy level.
She aced her evaluation as a green dot, easy dog but we would like her to be with someone who will continue to show her how wonderful life can be. Mushy, small, affectionate, curious…..she is also been wonderful with all the kids that meet her. Come in and meet her, she will steal your heart.
Our dog trainer has offered a free training session with her adoption.
