About Sophie

Meet Sophie! Sophie is a delightful 7-year-old Maltese/Yorkie mix eager to find her forever home through Furkids. Though she's petite, this little lady is brimming with personality and affection. Sophie thrives in an active environment, enjoying playtime with her furry friends, yet she’s a true lap dog at heart. Once playtime is over, she loves to snuggle close and even enjoys sleeping by her people's sides at night. While Sophie can be protective of her home, she needs a family that understands her desire for safety and security. She's a bit shy in new situations and would benefit from a patient adopter who can help her adjust to her surroundings. Note that she isn't house-trained yet and prefers to play in a fenced yard rather than go outside on a leash, so a secure outdoor space is important for her comfort. Sophie's adoption fee is $315, and adopters must be at least 21 years old. If you think this sweet girl could be the companion you're looking for, apply to adopt today!
