About Sophie

Sophie is a lovable and slightly wild girl who truly embraces her second chance at life. This happy soul has a huge heart and a goofy demeanor that radiates love to everyone around her. While she adores children, her enthusiastic affection can be a bit overwhelming, so she may accidentally knock over smaller kids with her excited hugs and cuddles. Sophie’s obsession with toys is charming; she loves to collect them and stash them in her cozy spots like little treasures. Her eagerness for treats makes training a fun adventure. Living comfortably with both a small Chihuahua mix and a large Pit Bull, she embodies a submissive nature, happy to be at the bottom of the pack as long as snacks are involved. Though she mostly ignores her feline housemates, Sophie does have a light chase instinct if a cat swats at her. A home with dog-savvy cats would be ideal since she enjoys the occasional chase but also respects boundaries. High energy and active, Sophie thrives in a home with a secure, tall fence and an active family who can provide plenty of playtime, training, and exploration. Ultimately, Sophie is a joy to be around, full of affection and spontaneity. She understands the value of her second chance and intends to make the most of every moment. If you want a goofy, affectionate, toy-loving friend to accompany you on life’s adventures, Sophie is the perfect match! She is heartworm positive and undergoing slow kill treatment, so she won't be eligible for spaying until she tests negative. Make this captivating girl your new best friend!
