About Sophie

Sophie is a 7-year-old medium-sized Plott Hound who found herself at the shelter after her owner passed away. After being sad and quiet during her time there, a foster stepped in to help care for her. She’s fully house trained and loves to use a doggy door, making her an easy companion at home. Sophie enjoys being close to her foster mom, relaxing with her head in a lap, and playing short games of tug. She’s also a fan of car rides. While she can climb a 4-foot chain-link fence, she’s trustworthy indoors and would thrive in a home with a wooden fence or even in a country setting. Sophie is great with cats and other dogs of different sizes, making her a perfect addition for families. The foster-to-adopt plan allows potential adopters to see how Sophie is before committing. If you’re looking for a settled and affectionate dog, Sophie might just be your perfect match. Start your journey together!
