About Sofi

Sofi is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs approximately 45 lbs. She currently lives in the kennel and will need to be met in person at Small Miracles for adoption consideration. Sofi was rescued from a high-volume shelter environment, so the details about her background remain limited. Many aspects of her temperament and habits may change once she settles into a calmer, permanent home. Shelter staff only bring in friendly dogs with good temperaments, but they do recommend potential adopters come by to see if Sofi is the right match for your family. While her housetraining status isn’t guaranteed, Sofi has shown she can keep her crate clean through the night. Like many rescued dogs, she may need some guidance learning the routines in a new home. Sofi is already spayed and up to date on vaccines. Visits are only possible during listed adoption hours, and applications can be filled out in advance or in person. What are you waiting for?
