About Sophia

Meet Sophia, the 13-year-old survivor who is searching for her soft landing. 🌟 Abandoned in her golden years, she found herself fending for herself until some kind-hearted neighbors called animal control. Thankfully, our rescue stepped in, promising Sophia a new chapter—a chapter filled with comfort, kindness, and so much love! This precious lady arrived with a few health issues, but her spirit is shining brighter than ever! 🌈 With the right treatment, her skin and ear troubles are on the mend, and for the first time in ages, she’s experiencing the joy of a soft bed and regular meals. Sophia carries herself with a quiet dignity that only an old soul can possess. She adores peaceful company, warm blankets, and sunny spots perfect for snoozing the day away. When you meet her, she greets you with a soft, grateful look, and in return, she offers steady, warm companionship that simply lights up the room. 🥰 But don’t let her mellow demeanor fool you—this girl still has plenty of spark! If you leave the trash uncovered or a delicious morsel on the counter, she’ll be delighted to offer her help! 😂 She’s remarkably clever and has mastered Houdini-level escapes from every barrier we’ve set. Crates? You can count her out! And despite being a senior, she believes that chasing squirrels (and even cats) is a perfectly reasonable hobby! 🐾 Sophia loves going for walks, enjoys car rides, and you can't miss her adorable excitement when her humans return home! Trust me, she knows exactly the difference between when you’re there and when you’ve left, and she’ll let you know! 🚗❤️ Currently, she’s heartworm positive, but due to her age, her treatment is a long-term one that involves consistent monthly prevention to gently clear the infection. What she truly needs is a calm, loving home where someone can guide her to the vet when necessary, keep her on her meds, and perhaps offer her a little pain relief for any stiffness she might feel. Sophia isn’t asking for much—just comfort, a consistent meal routine, gentle care, and someone to recognize the immense worth and beauty of a senior dog who has faced so much. If you can provide Sophia with a peaceful home, where she can finally feel cherished, please open your heart to her. She has so much quiet love to give, and she deserves to spend her later years feeling like the treasure she truly is. 💖 To help Sophia find her perfect match, potential adopters are encouraged to *apply through the Buddy App*. This special girl can’t wait to find her forever home!
