About Sophie

Sophie is a kind, gentle, and sociable Border Collie mix who has demonstrated incredible resilience. At around 1–2 years old and weighing about 42 pounds, she’s a tripod who has bounced back beautifully after losing her right front paw to an unfortunate accident. After a difficult journey, Sophie is now thriving in her foster home, making the most of every moment. Her playful spirit shines as she runs and plays with the resident dog, and you'll often find her joyfully engaging with her human friends at the local park. Despite her challenges, Sophie has become an excellent houseguest. She’s housebroken, sleeps soundly in her crate, and has mastered the doggie door. Her love for toys is matched only by her affection for people. This sweet girl enjoys belly rubs, and when it comes to treats, she’s incredibly gentle, taking them with care. Sophie is looking for a forever home where she can bask in love and attention. Though she has three legs, her heart is full, and she’s ready to fill your home with joy. If you think you could be the right fit for her, please consider bringing Sophie into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
