Sophie

Sweet Sophie is the perfect mix of adorable, friendly, cuddly, playful. She is a young (almost a year?) Cattledog/hound mix, although I see a little boxer in her as well.

Hey happy face!

One of the first things we did with Sophie when we took her out, was sit down on a bench for some cuddles. She knows she is a lap dog. She loved being held like a little baby with her belly up for tummy scratches!

Gettin her snuggles!

Speaking of tummy scratches, there is a sweet spot on her belly where, if you scratch it, her leg just goes crazy -- so cute! Want to see? Here it is!



Once we got in the play pen she immediately ran and grabbed a toy. She realllllly likes toys, especially the soft ones and will run circles with them in her mouth until she gets tired! She loves chasing them when we throw them, and will pounce and proudly run a few "laps" with them.

So many toys!


She does really nicely on her leash and loves being around people. She is exceptionally eager to please and has a nice "sit" under her belt. She's food motivated and seems to learn very easily.

Grinning tennis ball face!



When she gets excited on her leash she kinda snorts a bit, which made me laugh. She's just funny and awesome to be around in general, and the type of dog that makes volunteering at the shelter so fun.



When she got tired she took her toy and went to lay under the bench. We got ready to go back inside, but she didn't want to part with her toy, so she carried it all the way back in! You'll love meeting miss Sophie, so stop by and visit her in Kennel 42!!!!!!

Sometimes she kinda flies :-)
