Sweet Sophie is ready for adoption!  Sophie came to us with her brother Cooper, both found as strays locally and never claimed.  They were extremely matted, dirty and emaciated.  Sophie weighed only 5 pounds after being shaved down!  We are happy to say that both have flourished in rescue, are healthy and happy dogs ready to find their forever homes.  They are Shih Tzu mixes we believe and somewhere between 1-2 years old.  

Sophie has truly blossomed in rescue!  She is a happy, friendly dog always looking for a lap to sit in!   She is very playful dog and is always up for a game of chase with other dogs.   She likes to play with toys and wrestle.   She is also very happy to hunker down in her crate and take naps or chew on some treats.  Sophie is loving and affectionate, she will jump up on her foster mom for attention and some pets.  Sophie is smart and eager to please. 

Sophie is working on her housetraining but will need additional training.  We think she was an indoor only dog in her past life that only used potty pads.  The good news is she LOVES to be outdoors so we know the training will come along.  She is eager to please but the minute she even thinks she is in trouble she collapses to her side in fear, which is just so devastating to see.  Her foster mom quickly scoops her up and lets her know she is ok.  We know with lots of love in her forever home she will overcome this.  

Sophie is crate trained but will give long mournful cries if left too long.  She can definitely wind other dogs up if you have them.  She walks on a leash but is still apprehensive about it and will need more training. We would really like a fenced yard for her to enjoy the outdoors as she does in her foster home.  We think she deserves it!  She has no issues with cats.   

Sophie and Cooper came to us extremely matted and needed to be shaved down to the skin.  Their coats are finally growing back but please be aware that they will need regular grooming and haircuts every couple of months.  

Sophie is spayed, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm.  Her adoption fee is $450
