The 18-Pound Yorkie Mix Who Just Needs Her Person Sophia has a dream. It's not complicated. She doesn't want fame, fortune, or an extensive toy collection. She simply wants to find her person — and then devote herself to that person with her whole entire heart. This 3-year-old Yorkie/Terrier mix is undeniably cute, undeniably sweet, and — full transparency — undeniably a little shy. She came into foster care, took one look at Foster Mom, and thought "yes. you. it's you." We respect the commitment. - Sophia is not the dog who charges the door, jumps on strangers, or immediately demands belly rubs from people she just met. She's more of a slow burn — a little timid, a little anxious at first, but once she decides you're her person? Game over. You have a devoted companion for life. - She plays! A good, healthy level of play that says "I'm fun" without saying "I will destroy your furniture." - She's food motivated, which means training is absolutely on the table. Consider it an exciting project waiting for the right human to take it on. - Fully housebroken and crates happily at night: Two things that are genuinely not small things. - She'd love more walks, more activity, and more training than her current situation allows. Basically, she's ready for someone to invest in her — and she will pay that investment back in loyalty tenfold. - Full transparency: Sophia came to us with a skin condition that's actively improving with baths and medication — she's already looking and feeling better! She may have food or environmental allergies, which her forever family can explore with a vet. A manageable puzzle for the right person who's ready to help her thrive! Sophia isn't for everyone. She needs patience, gentleness, and someone willing to let her warm up at her own pace. But for the right person — the one she decides is hers — she will be the most devoted, loving, grateful little companion you've ever had. She's already proven she knows how to love somebody completely. She just needs that somebody to be you.

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label. We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners. Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
