My personality

My story

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

Hello, I'm Sophie! I am current on my vaccines, spayed, microchipped, and soon to be heartworm tester

3 words that describe me: Affectionate, Couch Potato, and Cuddly

Things staff and volunteers have to say about me: I am a big girl with some big feelings. I am quite the talker for being a Pit mix, and I love to sing. I as the sweetest girl who will accept belly rubs from anyone and loves to be with my people.

Activity level/Energy Level: (1-10): 3 or 4/10

Housetraining Status: I like to keep my kennel clean at the shelter, but when I go into a new home I might have a couple accidents until I learn our routine.

I should do well in a home: Other dogs given proper introductions and supervision, I came into the shelter with my sister, Suzie, and love to hang out with her. My friends at the shelter believe I would do good in a home with any ages, according to my old owners, I love kids of all ages.

My favorite activities are: Hanging out with my favorite people (everyone),getting belly rubs, lounging around with my sister, and singing songs.

Things I need work on are: Some weight loss, I am a big girl and need a home that will work on helping me lose weight and keeping that weight off

Any special needs: I take a twice daily thyroid medication.

Doggy day out notes:
"She did a great job! She was ready to explore and was prepared to stop and sniff whenever she could. Other than wanting to lead us off our path a few times, Sophie walked on her leash great. She loved her treats and pup cup!"

"She is a super good walker, and likes to sniff around a lot. She got a little nervous and was barking at my dad when he was in the room. She’s super sweet and loves belly rubs."

"Both Sophie and Suzie did great out. They were good on the leash and barely pulled beside when excited. They enjoyed walking and playing with each other."

"Sophie was super sweet and she loved to explore the park. She loved to explore the park. She loved leading the walk but also enjoyed sitting and watching squirrels. She LOVES getting her belly rubbed and getting pets."

"She is generally happy and excited to participate but definitely limited in her mobility because of the weight. Walks well on leash and knows her name. Got approached by a young dog that slipped their harness and responded well, loose dog was very respectful so that helped too."
