About Sofie

Sofie, a lively puppy, is one of three born to Bella, who was surrendered along with her friend Cookie when the pups were just four days old. Born on May 4, these little ones have been thriving in a nurturing foster home. Sofie is full of curiosity and energy, and she thrives on attention and affection from people. As a typical playful puppy, she will need dedication and time from her future family to grow into a well-mannered adult. She will receive her first DAPP vaccine on July 4, and once she's ready, she'll be microchipped before adoption, with her spay scheduled when appropriate through the rescue.
