March Staff Pick: Sophia Petrillo Chosen by Amara, UPAWS Caregiver Sophia Petrillo is Amara’s staff pick because of how incredibly her personality has developed during her time here. She went from a super scared, shut down mess to a happy-go-lucky, goofy girl who just wants a warm bed to sleep on. She’s silly, excitable, and a total velcro pup who loves being close to her people. One of her cutest quirks is the way she greets you—with a little grin, a rapid tail wag, and a soft whimper, as if she’s saying "hi" right back to you. She would do best in a quiet and patient home, and a canine companion could really help boost her confidence—someone to show her compassion and that the world isn’t so bad after all. Sophia isn’t necessarily a "first impression" type of gal, but she gradually develops a deep connection that leaves a forever impression on your heart. When she first came to us, she was very shy and insecure, but with some TLC and patience, she’s learning that she has a lot of new aunties (and an uncle) who absolutely adore her. Now, she just wants to be snuggled up close and soak in all the belly scratches she can get. Could Sophia be your perfect match #UPAWS #StaffPick
