About Sophie

Meet Sophie! This resilient girl made her way to safety in Aguada, Puerto Rico, just a day before giving birth on the streets. Finding refuge in a nearby yard, she delivered four puppies safely under someone's steps. A compassionate individual took her in, allowing her to raise her little ones in a loving environment. Now that her puppies are grown, it's Sophie’s turn to be cherished. Weighing just 20–25 lbs, she's an ideal companion for anyone seeking a loyal friend. Although she may need some time to build trust, her friendly demeanor shines once she feels secure. Sophie would do best as the only dog in her new home, as she has not been tested with others or cats. She will be spayed before adoption. Currently located in Puerto Rico, Sophie can be flown anywhere in the U.S. for her forever family. Ready to make Sophie a part of your life? Click apply to start the adoption process.
