Good with cats at home Good with pigeons at home Good with people, will show belly Does well on leash Not sure if interested in toys, didn't show much interest Loves to play with people Appears housebroken Not a big chewer Likes to look out window No exposure to kids Adoption Bio: Meet Sophia, a 5-year-old Lab mix with a gentle soul and a sweet, easygoing personality.In her previous home, Sophia showed just how thoughtful and soft-natured she is—she was good with cats and even calm around pigeons, often observing the world with quiet curiosity. With people, she tends to be very submissive and respectful, quickly showing her kind and gentle temperament once she feels safe.Sophia is dog selective, so she may do best with slow, careful introductions or as the only dog in the home depending on the situation. What she truly shines in is her connection with people—she loves to play, engage, and be part of your day.She enjoys simple comforts too, like watching the world go by from a window, and she appears to be house trained. On walks, she does wonderfully on leash and is easy to handle, making outings enjoyable and relaxed.If you’re looking for a loving, people-focused companion with a calm heart and a playful side, Sophia may be the perfect addition to your home.
