Meet Sophie!
Sophie is a tiny, silly, sweet, one year old girl with a big personality and plenty of puppy energy! She’s a happy, affectionate dog who loves all people, cuddles, toys, chews, blankets, sunshine, and exploring the yard. She’s happy to be picked up and snuggled, and she loves being near her people. She’s also a little stinker who will chew your shoes if you give her the chance! She’s definitely still a puppy and has some learning and socialization to do, but she’s a lovely, adaptable girl.
Sophie loves to play, although she’s still learning how to play appropriately with other dogs. She can be a little overenthusiastic and pushy when trying to engage her canine friends, and she gets mouthy when excited. She has lots of energy and needs regular playtime and exercise to keep her happy. Sophie is able to get around the house and yard without any accommodations, and has recently started taking 1-mile walks in her new wheelchair. She loves all the new sights and smells! She would do best in a home with another active, playful dog who can match her energy or as an only dog with regular doggy playdates. Because she can be mouthy during play, a home without young children would be best. Sophie is obsessed with food and loves her toys and chew items. If she doesn’t have an appropriate toy to chew on, she’ll happily find something she shouldn’t—including toilet paper rolls! Puppy-proofing will be important. She also enjoys having a cozy, secure place to rest. She naturally found a snug, covered spot in the cat tree, and when a crate was provided, she went right in. Her crate is a great place for her to settle and calm down when she gets overstimulated.
She loves being outside, exploring the yard and lounging in the sunshine. Indoors, she loves to lounge in front of the fire or snuggling with her person on the couch under a blanket. A home with a securely fenced yard would be ideal for her.
Sophie likes to chase the foster’s resident cats, so we do not recommend a home with cats or small animals.
Sophie was rescued from China and, while her back legs work normally, is missing her two back paws. Unfortunately, we don’t know the history behind her missing back feet or what led to her physical condition. What we do know is that it doesn’t stop her from living her best life! Sophie is a happy, active, adventurous little girl who loves to play, explore, and be part of the action. She has limb stumps that she will allow you to handle once she trusts you. She’ll need patient, gentle handling and a family willing to work with her at her own pace.
Sophie can manage the three steps between the deck and backyard in her foster home, although she sometimes struggles getting back up, so she has learned to use a ramp with great success. Her forever home should have minimal stairs to help her get around comfortably. Sophie may have a few extra needs, but she doesn’t let them define her. She’s determined, resilient, and full of puppy spirit!
Sophie has already overcome so much, and now it’s her turn to find her happily ever after. Could you be the one to give this little sweetheart the loving home she’s been waiting for?
