Although Sophia can be shy initially, she quickly warms up with food and affection. She's becoming more confident walking on a leash and enjoys short outings in the neighborhood, where she loves to sniff around. Sophia is sweet and affectionate, often wanting to cuddle with her people once she feels secure. She's great with the other dogs in her foster home and even tries to kiss the kitties, though she mainly ignores them. Sophia is also good with children and will thrive with someone who has a bit of time and patience to offer. Her love is certainly worth the wait. Ready to fall in love?
