Sophie Rand-LOCAL

LOCAL IN NEW ENGLAND!!

Can you say one of the happiest adoptable dogs we know? Who immediately loves everything and everyone? Who is smart as a whip? And as a added bonus is also an expert snuggler with the cutest wiggle butt?
That perfectly describes Miss Sophie, a beautiful young mixed breed girl.

Sophie’s start as a puppy was in a loving home with a toddler. As a smaller pup, all was well, but Sophie never quite realized that she had grown into her full size and would accidentally topple over the little one. She had no ill intent or aggression, simple too much happiness to go around!! PAWS was contacted to rehome the dog for this family.

Sophie was adopted and resided on a very busy horse farm. Her adopter just loved her and said that she was one of the smartest dogs she has ever had. She responded well to all training including desensitizing her to the horses all about the farm. However, her adopter feels that this environment has too much stimulation for Sophie and she loses sight of her training. Soph can be redirected, but this is not always possible to do at a busy working farm. Her adopter truly believes that Sophie would thrive best with less bustling in her surroundings and made the difficult decision to put Sophie up again for adoption.

This girl is great with other dogs of her same size and energy level and just loves to run and play. Fetch, chase, tug o’ war…you name it! She would do well within a pack of similar energy dogs. She would not coexist well with only couch potatoes in the house.
Sophie would love a doggie playmate(s), but if you don’t have a play buddy, she requires a daily means to expel her energy. This lady is PERFECT for agility, runs, hiking, (and water play, as you can see by this video): https://youtu.be/TE0tmOXPyPw.
She also flourished in doggy daycare while at her foster home.

A fenced in yard would also help her get her energy out, but no lower chain link for this gal–she has figured out how to scale a four foot one.

After some playtime, this beauty is ready for a comfy nap on the couch or on your lap. Don’t you dare tell her she is a bit oversized for a lap dog! She also loves to “cuddle and kiss”, so if you are someone who requires some personal space, she is probably not the dog for you…..she loves to express her affection!!!

Sophie is house and crate trained. She sleeps in her crate or a dog bed (and sometimes a human bed) all night long without a peep.
She does quite well on a leash with an easy-walk harness, and responds to “heel”. Her hound side definitely comes out on walks…nose to the ground!!! And she greets everyone she sees, either human or canine, with a smile and tail wag.

This gorgeous active girl is truly sweet tempered; only wanting to love and be loved in return. She craves attention and interaction from her favorite people and doggie siblings and can’t wait to be another family’s bestest friend, perhaps yours? Pretty much guaranteed you will fall in love.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

Paws New England is a foster-based rescue - our dogs reside in various locations throughout the south and New England.

Adoption donations cover pre-adoption vet costs (including vaccinations, spay/neuter when age appropriate, and heartworm testing/treatment when necessary), a microchip, and transportation to New England if necessary.

Donations for our young, healthy puppies and dogs support their fellow canines of advanced age or suffering from injuries and abuse whose donations are reduced but whose veterinary costs are typically much higher. We appreciate your understanding that your newly adopted dog will help others in need.
