About Sophia

Sophia is part of the Golden Girls puppy bunch and embodies her name by trying to keep everyone in line. Though she’s the shyest in her group, she doesn’t hesitate to step up when needed. At around 3 pounds and just 8 weeks old, her mom is a small poodle, but her dad's breed is still a mystery. Given her petite stature, Sophia is expected to remain a small-to-medium-sized dog. She'll thrive in a home that can dedicate time to potty training and the usual puppy lessons like nipping and crate training. Puppies require a lot of care and guidance. Good news is, Sophia has already received her second round of vaccinations to help her on her journey to health. Ideally, her new home will be ready to commit to her upbringing. Sophia is great with kids, other dogs, and even gets along with cats. The adoption fee is $350, and potential adopters will need to travel to Jefferson, GA for her remaining vetting and spay.
