Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Come see Sophie at Burnett's Country Garden in beautiful Salem, CT on October 26th and 27th from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
Here is more information about me:
GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEAL HOME: Sophie here! I am so excited about coming to Dog Days in Salem. I am keeping my paws crossed that I can find a wonderful forever home.. My foster parents keep telling me how sweet I am and that they just know someone will fall in love with me--I sure hope so because while I am a little shy when first meeting new people, I sure do love them as well as playing with other dogs My foster parents have several dogs of their own in all sizes and after we figure each other out, we all run and play. They also think I am either already housebroken or well on my way to being so as I hold everything all night and take care of business when I first get let out in the morning. I am pretty good on a leash as long as there aren't too many distractions (other dogs) running around. I am learning how to sit for a treat and foster mom keeps petting my head and putting her hand in my food while I'm eating (not sure why) but I just wag my tail and eat around her hand. While I am a young girl (~8 mos old and a small 30 pounds), I haven't had the best of luck--my owners turned me into the shelter because they said I got hit by a car and they could not afford to take me to the vet. Well, I just had a couple of scrapes and with just a little bit of TLC I am as good as new! I sure hope my luck will change and I can find me a family at Dog Days that will love and take care of me forever. If you have any questions about me, please send an e-mail to my foster mom (terrynjim@yahoo.com) and she will get back with you as soon as possible. Another great idea is to go ahead and fill out an adoption application (http://godogdays.org/find-my-new-best-friend.htm)--that way you'll be all set to adopt me or anyone of the other great Dog Day dogs!!
GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been:
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative
ADOPTION FEES
Rescues participating in our events are not allowed to charge more than $385 an adoption fee and some adoption fees are much less - it depends on what the rescue chooses to charge - Dog Days does not take any portion of the adoption fees.

ADOPTION PROCESS - Before the Event
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption weekend. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.
ADOPTION PROCESS - During the Event Weekend
-- Plan on spending at least three to four hours going through the adoption process. We want you to be completely confident in your new pal so we will ask you to speak to a trainer, a veterinarian as well as interview with a member of our adoption team and the rescue.
-- As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog.
-- PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.
Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.
EVENT TIMES AND LOCATION:
October 26th and 27th from 11am to 4pm at Burnett's Country Gardens in Salem, CT.
