Breed
Shepherd
Sex
Female
Age
2 Years and 2 Months old
Sophia wandered onto her foster mom’s property one day, as if she knew she had finally found a safe haven. We don’t think she’s ever truly had a family before, but with patience and kindness, she has slowly learned to trust her foster mama.
Sophia is a gentle, sweet soul who loves to sunbathe in the yard and curl up in a cozy chair. She’s still learning that people can be safe—if you stand up quickly, she might get nervous, but the moment you sit down, she happily trots over for pets.
She’s wonderful with older dogs and has a nurturing “mama” instinct toward the younger ones. Sophia is looking for a patient, loving family who will give her the time and encouragement to fully come out of her shell and show the spoiled, happy dog she’s meant to be.

Something to Consider:
Puppies don't train themselves
If you aren’t willing to train a puppy every single day, don’t get a puppy! It isn’t a one-shot deal. You have to be dedicated. And if you aren’t making progress – find someone who can help. Enroll in a puppy training class or hire a trainer. Most cities across the nation have some sort of availability for this kind of help and at different cost levels that would fit your budget.
Puppies are going to poop a lot and pee even more; chew on everything; bite everyone; scratch people and furniture; steal things; destroy something at some point; pull on the leash; not move at all on the leash; bark; cry; beg for attention; and the list goes on. You’re going to have to walk them, bathe them, pick up everything below waist height, buy new shoes, and most importantly: TRAIN THE PUPPY NOT TO DO THESE THINGS! Ultimately, it is your responsibility to teach your puppy that this behavior is unacceptable.
Puppies turn into dogs...
