My story

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

 

 

 



Meet Sozzle

She is a beautiful and vibrant 1.5 years old Doberman. She has some neurological issues and wqlks like shes had a fee too many.

She plays well with other dogs but can be overbearing for shy dogs. The main thing we are working on is managing excitement and jumping.

HI IM SOZZLE! People have said I'm A LOT. Yay! I just think life is the best! I love people and other dogs. When I see you I CANNOT contain my excitement, and the floor can't contain me. I slip and I slide to get to you.I'm getting better at not jumping.

My foster mom tells me people don't like being punched, even with paws.

The other dogs in my home love me. Most of the time. They let me know when they don't want to play and I'm a good listener.

I am potty trained and walk well on leash but I'm sensitive to loud noises. When I get spooked I jump vertically and high like a jackrabbit. My foster mom says I need someone special and quirky like me.

One mischievous thing about me is I like to steal shoes. I don't destroy them. Telling me no isn't enough. They've taken the shoes from me. Now I settle for the occasional rug or I snag a pillow.

With my neuro issue my foster parents have been cautious .They gasp when I jump off the couch, concerned I will injure myself. I always do flips and land tricks. They can't help but be impressed.

I can't wait for a lifetime of love and adventures. I love to be held and nuzzle in someones neck. I'll be grateful as long as you love me. I wouldn't be a good fit for young children. I currently love too hard.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion that will love you wholeheartedly, and believe you can give Sozzle the life she’s been waiting for, please email beourpet@gmail.com.

she is being fostered in Vacaville where she will be available to meet potential adopters.

Not ready to adopt? Please share Sozzles story so we can find her perfect match. ✨Sozzle is a great example that with a great attitude people want to see you win! A few people saw her spark and advocated to save her life.u

More about this rescue

Umbrella of Hope exists to rescue, rehibilitate, and rehome animals from shelter situations with a focus on East Contra Costa County, California. Our goal is to reduce the euthanasia of adoptable animals through increased adoptions of those animals already born. Help increase public safety by reducing the number of strays and feral animals through population control who might carry disease or pose other dangers to the community. Provide resources to pet owners to enable them to be responsible forever guardians of their companion animals. To increase public awareness of homeless pets, encourage spay and neuter of companion animals, and promote adoption for the acquisition of family pets.
