Sophie here is just about the sweetest, sensitive, people-centered pup with quiet, loyal energy I have ever met. She isn’t going to be the loudest in the room—but she is sure going to be most attentive. That sweet, soft presence of her woo’d me in no time at all and I have no doubt she is going to do the same for you. Take a look at her video to fast-track the falling in love then come back to read more about this amazing girl. https://youtu.be/_pm2DZpp_aM Sophie is a 1-year-old (ish) mystery mix, like all rescue dogs., breed and birthday are details we cannot guarantee. She looks like a Border collie/Kelpie mix but her presence is that of a basset hound. What we do know is that she is a quietly devoted, deeply sweet dog. She is sort of like a shadow, close by, never underfoot. She’s not clingy just... present, I'll say from experience, she is the best company. Sophie is house-trained, crate-trained, and currently waiting for her adoption day in a loving foster home. Her foster shared that she is calm inside the house, respectful of space, and easy to live with. Outside, she can be a bit more reserved. She doesn’t enjoy loud environments or busy energy. She is polite passing and meeting new dogs but doesn’t have much interest beyond that. She isn’t reactive in these environments, she simply looks for her person and retreats a little. It is gentle and truthfully, not every dog wants to be out on the town and that is okay, we love a homebody! So, what is Sophies ideal home? Calm, quiet, and steady. Her foster works a very traditional 9-5 and she is thriving in the routine of weekdays and especially enjoys the weekend with walks and snuggle sessions. She would love to be a solo-dog but she can coexist with respectful dogs who won’t push her to play. From what we have seen she has potential to live with a cat. We consider her possibly cat-compatible only because when she met our spicy, very confident house cat, she was intimidated and uncomfortable. We are happy to introduce her to another cat if you are interested, simply we saw no red flags and her gentle nature and responsive nature leave us feeling positive about the possibility. Lastly, this girl isn’t your dog park type and she won’t need playgroups, love and a peaceful home are the keys to her happiness. People are where her heart is. Sophie may be a bit shy in her approach to new people but it only takes a minute to warm up, once she does, she your quiet companion. She won’t bark for attention or demand your lap, but she’ll be there—next to you while you work, waiting calmly while you cook, gently checking in with a look or a soft lean. She finds safety in connection. Sophie is the kind of dog who doesn’t just want to be loved—she wants to belong. If you’re kind, value a peaceful, simple life and you’re looking for a companion to walk through life with, you are in the right place for a dream connection. Sophie is ready and waiting! Questions?

Let me introduce you to the warm soul we call George, He has a comforting presence. George can come off a little reserved at first, but that’s just because he’s not the type to push for attention. He’s the quiet kind—like a best friend who’s always there, steady and grounding. George has all the traits of a loyal, loving dog and he is ready to find himself at home. What stands out most about George is how easy his company is. He’s slow and steady across the board—whether he’s meeting new people, walking on leash, hanging with other dogs, or encountering a cat.. Based on his look and temperament, we think he may be a Kelpie/Shepherd mix, estimated to be around 4 years old, and he weighs 50 lbs. As with any rescue, we can’t say with total certainty on age or breed, but he is fully-grown size so we can testify to how perfectly midsize he is. George is so fortunate and is being fostered in a loving home while he waits for his adoption day and this not only gives us a front-row account to hi personality but he also gets to learn and master the best house manners while he waits. His foster has praised George for how well he rides in the car- laying in the back peacefully, only perking up once they have arrived. He is also both house and crate trained! We loooove that! George lives with both cats and dogs in his foster home and he gets along well with them all. We spent an afternoon with George outside of his foster home to get a feel of his play style and approach to new dogs along with observing him meet a new cat. The first thing that jumped out was just how politely George meets new dogs on-leash. He showed a little excitement when he saw the first dog, it was contained but obvious, he was happy to meet a possible playmate.With each additional dog the approach was the same, neutral and calm. Although he never found the perfect playmate to really let loose, he was easy company and is dog-friendly. The most natural pairing was with a female, similar age to him, with a sense of confidence and bouts of playfullness. If going into a home with another dog, that would be almost exactly the type of dog he would be best with. Dogs like George, who come across as reserved, are often naturally independent, confident and content with their own company. Another quality we love! Even though we know George lives with cats we love to see a dog in a new environment, meeting a new cat to get a grasp on what that could look like once he is arriving in a new home. He was introduced on leash and he was curious but respectful and calm. As the cat got more animated and jumpy playing with a toy, George definitely thought it was an invitation to play. He obviously can live peacefully with cats but we all know, cat personalities are a variable. If joining a house with a cat(s), it would be best if they were dog savvy. He will respect a swat and may need one to mind a boundary. George would do great in a home with a yard, if for no other reason than his simple joy of laying in the shade on a patch of green grass. It is heaven to watch! He has great basic leash skills with a nice pace but a hectic, busy environment might throw off his vibes. Basically, the busy environment of elevators and lobby are not for him. He could do it, but we can see he isn’t much of a busy city guy. The same goes for family-life, he could do it but he has really been spoiled by a foster home with the occasional 20 something year old kid coming by to do laundry. In other words, empty-nester? Not with George! He is ready to fill your time with good company! Invite this boy home to peaceful place and a patch of grass, with a doggie friend and a cool cat and George will be there to take it all in—his pace and by your side! If you’ve got room in your life for a gentle heart and a quiet companion, George is ready to bring calm, sweetness, and unwavering loyalty into your world. Questions?
