Story
I’m Sofia, a 6-year-old, 58-pound German Shepherd mix. I’m a smart and loyal girl, and I’m easygoing and mellow. I get along well with other dogs, and it’s likely I lived in a home once because I was already spayed when I came into rescue, but no one ever claimed me. I’ll make someone a wonderful companion. Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you.

If there’s fun to be had, I’m already on my way. I’m full of puppy energy, curiosity, and excitement, but underneath all that wiggle is a super sweet, affectionate boy who just wants to be near his people. I’ve got that smart shepherd brain too, so I’m ready to learn, grow, and become an amazing, loyal companion. Right now, I’m all about playtime, attention, and discovering the world… preferably with you right by my side. ​ Best Qualities: • Happy, playful, and full of personality • Super affectionate and people-loving • Smart and eager to learn • Confident, curious, and fun • Brings joy (and wiggles) wherever he goes ​ My Ideal Match: • A home ready for puppy energy and lots of playtime • Someone excited to train and engage with me • A family that enjoys an active, fun-loving dog • Humans who will give me attention, structure, and love • Bonus: someone who appreciates a dog with BIG personality ​ Deal Breakers: • Not ready for puppy energy and activity • Looking for a calm, low-energy dog • Not interested in training, structure, or engagement ​ Fun Fact: If you sit down… I will immediately assume it’s playtime (or cuddle time… or both) 💛🐾
