 Sophie

Adopted July 2007

Sophie was picked up as a stray. Her ears are missing the hair at the tips where flies have bitten her, so she must have been outside quite a bit. The hair will grow back, it is just an indication of her previous life. She is a young Shepherd and wants lots of hugs and cuddles. She is pretty easy going, though has moments of "selective hearing" which a good obedience class could address. She ignores the kitties, is fine with the child, and curious and gentle with other dogs. She wants doggie playmates and lots of attention. If you think your family can open a new loving chapter to this little girl's life, fill out an application for Sophie.
