About Sophie

Meet Sophie and her sister Victoria, both charming 4-month-old Shepherds ready to find their forever homes. These girls were rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico when they were just tiny puppies. Their rescuer initially intended to release them after spaying, but couldn't bring herself to let them go. Instead, she raised Sophie and Victoria, making sure they received the care and love they deserve. Sophie has a striking brindle coat and currently weighs 16 pounds; she may grow to about 45 pounds. Both are spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and learning to walk nicely on a leash. They're practicing basic commands like sit and stay, showing off their eagerness to learn. Sophie gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making her an excellent choice for any family. With their second chance at life, these girls hope to find loving families. Don't miss out on the opportunity to welcome Sophie into your home!
