About Sophia aka Bea

Sophia, also known as Bea, is one of the spirited "Golden Girls" who was rescued after being found stray. Along with her sisters, she had a rough start, but she's now blossoming and displaying her playful personality. At just 10 months old, she’s the smallest and the most social of the bunch, eagerly seeking attention and affection. As a mix of Mini Australian Shepherd and Collie, she carries a sweet disposition, though we recommend a home without young children under 10 for her comfort. Sophia, spayed and up to date on vaccinations, is ready to find her forever home where she can continue to thrive. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
