My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi Sophie here! I have grown up here at the shelter, that is the only home I've known. I have grown very fond of the kind folks taking care of me. I would love nothing more than to have an actual home of my own. I am very nervous of new people, especially younger kids. It will take time for me to feel comfortable in a new home. I will need someone that is home most of the time so they can help me relax and adjust. I will require multiple visits before we can talk about me going home. If your interested in me please call the shelter.
