Sophie
Catahoula Leopard Dog/American Staffordshire Terrier Mix: An adoptable dog in
Kirkland, WA
Medium • Young • Female
URGENT!!! Our foster home can no longer care for our Sophie so have given us until Dec 31 to find another place for her.
SHE NEEDS A NEW FOSTER HOME!! She is wonderful with other dogs and after just
a minute or two (and a few treats) she warms up to people quickly. Even
though deaf, she knows numerous hand signals and is learning more each day.
PLEASE HELP BY PROVIDING FOSTER CARE UNTIL WE CAN FIND HER FOREVER HOME!!!!
This beautiful, blue-eyed girl is incredibly sweet and gentle... and she's
also deaf. Sophie weighs approx 45lbs, is 15 months
old and she's already experienced numerous 'homes.' Because her life so far
has been so unstable, she's a bit timid and cautious with new people. With
patience and gentleness she quickly bonds and begins to trust, especially if
you feed her good treats and you let her curl up next to you while sleeping!
She's at first a bit timid with other dogs but after only a few seconds she
gets along just fine. With some of the dogs she'll even join in when running
or wrestling together.
Sophie will thrive in a home that has plenty of time, patience and
encouragement to give, one that is relatively calm, and with people
interested in helping her continue to learn despite her hearing impairment.
She's a very smart girl and has already learned a few hand signals, such as
sit, come, wait and kennel-up. Her curiosity of new places gets the best of
her so she loves to go on walks and hikes and is learning that new
surroundings can be fun instead of scary. Because of her current timid
nature, kids over 16 are recommended, and no cats.
