About Sophia

Meet Sophia! Sophia is around 10 to 12 months old and is a charming Pit Bull mix, on the smaller side for her breed. She might initially be nervous when meeting new people, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet personality shines through. Sophia adores belly rubs, treats, and cozy blankets. She's had positive interactions with both dogs and cats. However, she's not very confident around young children, so a home with older kids, preferably 16 and up, is ideal. This setup will allow her to feel safe, comfortable, and continued support in building her confidence. Sophia has so much love to offer to the right family! If you're patient and willing to let her settle in at her own pace, she could be the perfect addition to your home. Could Sophia be the missing piece to your family?
