About Courtesy Listing Sophie

Meet Courtesy Listing Sophie, a sweet tiny girl weighing just 7 pounds. She's looking for a new home where she can snuggle up on the couch with her people. While Sophie enjoys the company of dogs, she's best suited for an adult-only home as she’s developed protective tendencies and does not get along with children. Sophie is microchipped and keeps her vaccinations and heartworm preventative up to date. She loves car rides and will bravely protect you from squirrels or delivery trucks. Given that she tends to have some allergies, she’s been treated with Apoquel, which keeps her comfortable. Sophie needs a loving environment where she can feel secure, ideally with a fenced yard for safe outdoor play. If you’re ready to give her the attention and affection she craves, she will reward you with cuddles and companionship. A home check and rehoming fee will apply to her adoption.
