Meet Sophie! This darling girl is about 8 months old and ready to find her forever home. She was rescued from an overcrowded municipal animal shelter and would love to find a family of her own. She is housebroken, loves toys and gets along nicely with other dogs. Sophie will need a lot of love and attention, as any dog does, and will benefit from a basic obedience class.

Adopting a puppy is a big commitment, one you need to be prepared to make for 12 to 15 years. Don't think about adopting a puppy unless you are willing to go through chewed up shoes, dug up plants and obedience and training, and making sure you'll always have a place in your home for your canine family member.

If you are ready to make the commitment to a puppy, Sophie may be just the girl for you!
