Sophie is a striking brindle mix with possible Coonhound and Mastiff roots, currently about 2–3 years old. She’s courageous, eager to please, and sweet-natured—a combination that shines when given patient, experienced guidance. Sophie made the long trip from Texas and finished both her heartworm treatment and obedience training, setting her up nicely for a fresh start. With a short coat and a likely large adult frame, she fits right in among bigger breeds, though she doesn’t reach typical Mastiff size. Sophie thrives with large-breed savvy adopters who respect the decompression process and understand the unique needs of rescued dogs. In her foster home, she’s shown she can live peacefully with kids (ages 9 and 11) and enjoys the right kind of supervision around them. Sophie gets along with large dogs with introductions but is not suitable for homes with cats or small dogs—her prey drive is just too strong. Structured decompression and protection are essential for her to settle, so a home committed to these steps will allow her bright, loving personality to shine. Ready to meet your new best friend?
