Sophia – Adopted

Hi, my name is Sophia and I am an two year old English Pointer.  I am looking for my forever home and hoping it is with you!  I am called by my foster family as a gentle soul and a very mellow dog.  I love spending time with people and wish for a new family where I would be able to go most places with them. I show off my excitement and joy with a full body wiggle and a very busy tail!

I enjoy walks outside and my foster mom says that I am an angelwhen I walk and I don’t pull while I am out.  I don’t have a huge prey drive but I am curious about different smells and small animals.  I haven’t chased any animals yet, but I am very curious and probably will at some point.

I am working on my confidence and I look for cues from otherdogs and my foster family.  I am slowly gaining confidence that I am doing the right thing, but I am very sensitive to emotions in the house and I am unsure what to do when other dogs near me get corrected when they need to change their behavior.  I just need to be reassured that I am okay.

I love the dogs in my foster home, but it took me a little bit to warm up but once I knew my boundaries would be respected, I turned into their best friend.  I am not quite sure how to play with other dogs but I do enjoy chasing my foster sister and trying to play fetch.  I need someone that will work on dog introductions with me so I know what is appropriate. I am also working on learning new behaviors. I am not super food motivated but I am motivated by positive attention from people.  I do know sit and I am learning “look” to help connect to my foster family.

I am kennel trained and spend time in there without issues when my foster family leaves. I do sleep with my foster family curled up at the bottom of the bed and don’t move until it is time to get up.  I also love to cuddle with the family during down time.

I am a very sweet girl who would make a great addition to any family and would just love to be a part of it all!  Please reach out and fill out an application if you are interested in adopting me!
