Original: Sophie was originally a house dog, but for that last few years, she has lived in an outdoor pen. Her original family is relocating so they decided to relinquish Sophie to MAESSR.
Sophie is so happy to be back indoors and living with her foster family! After her years of being an outside dog, she needs some refresher work on housebreaking. Sophie thinks that being back in the house means she can have free access to the furniture, so her foster family is working with her on the finer points of being an inside dog. She is not crate trained at this point but is a smart, affectionate girl who is so willing to learn and to please. Sophie walks well on the leash and will sit and shake upon command. She would be a quick study at a refresher class in obedience. Generally, Sophie is well-mannered and does not jump up on people or beg for food. She does not bark or chew inappropriately. She behaves very well at the groomer, too.
Sophie and the resident dog are becoming quite close and she is frequently seen giving him kisses! She really enjoys the company of cats also. This playful little girl loves to play soccer and swim. And, whenever her foster family needs to go somewhere in the car, Sophie loves to go along for a ride!
Sophie is quite the charmer with a very sweet personality who just wants to be loved! Do you have room in your heart for this little wiggle butt?
