About Sophia

Meet Sophia, a gentle and affectionate 3-year-old Border Collie. She weighs 36 lbs and boasts a striking black and white coat that shines with her long fur. Sophia arrived at TRUAA from a backyard breeding and hoarding situation, and although she may be a bit shy at first due to early socialization challenges, she blossoms into a loving companion once she feels secure. This sweet girl is kennel trained, enjoys walks, rides well in a car, and has excelled in our Paws in Progress program over the past year. She's great around dogs, cats, chickens, goats, and older kids. What Sophia needs the most is a patient, loving family who can help her ease into her new home. Once she builds trust, you’ll find her by your side, ready for cuddles and affection. Sophia is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and microchipped, plus she’s on heartworm and flea preventative. She’s ready for that safe and loving forever home. What are you waiting for?
