Story
 Sophie | Maltese | 8 lbs | Senior | Small Dog Friendly | No Kids | Calm Home  Sophie has spent 14 years as a pampered princess and it's too late to stop now! Sophie was surrendered when a new baby decided she was the most interesting thing in the house (Duh! Who wouldn't be obssessed with her?) Someone had to go. Shockingly it was Sophie. She is choosing not to dwell on that though. Instead, she's eagerly looking forward to being spoiled and adored in her new forever home. Do not let her age fool you. This girl is spunky, feisty, and seems to have plenty of life left to live. What Sophie has "requested": Calm home No little children Small dogs only High quality food (she is the Gordan Ramsey of canine cuisine) Someone who appreciates a little dog with a big personality What Sophie brings to the table: Gentle affection on her own terms Loyal companionship (she'll be your little shadow!) The occasional sweet kiss... if you earn it A note on her needs: Sophie is very hard of hearing at 14, which mostly means she has stopped pretending to listen to things she disagreed with anyway. Her eyesight is still good with only slight difficulty in low light. She has plenty of affection to share but we wouldn't call her a lap dog. She is an independent companion who loves keeping an eye on her human and never being far from their reach. The person who adopts Sophie is not doing her a favor. They are getting extremely lucky to have this spritely little diva in their lives. Adoption fee: $200 Includes spay, up-to-date vaccines, and current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
