About Sophie

Meet Sophie, a sweet little lovebug who thrives in a cozy home environment. Having spent her life in a loving household, she is more of a homebody than a social butterfly. Although she was adopted during the pandemic and didn't get the socialization that her family hoped for, she's a cuddle enthusiast who adores lap time and close companionship. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she can be a bit protective over her toys and treats. Children tend to intimidate her, so a home with older, considerate companions is ideal. Sophie responds best to gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, and she finds joy in chew toys and cuddles. While she's starting to warm up to handling, she can be a bit of an escape artist, so keeping an eye on her around open doors is necessary. Overall, a calm household with a predictable routine will support her well-being and help her thrive. This charming dog is looking for a patient adopter who understands her needs.
