This. Girl.

Beautiful, sweet Sophie has had very little interest. So, she had herself a photo shoot, in the hopes that someone will see just how amazingly stunning she is, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
Sophie is 4 years old. She found herself in a not so loving home situation, but thankfully was saved by a kind human, who has been caring for Sophie for the past few months. She reached out to us, to help find her a forever home, with a special someone or family.
One of our volunteers has been spending time with Sophie to help us determine what her needs are. The consensus is that Sophie is a sweetheart!  She’s been with her, out and about, and Sophie has been very appropriate with passing strangers, and even with other dogs. She’s super curious, always looking for the next best thing to smell, see, or hear. They enjoyed some beach time, and her senses were firing on all cylinders. She was in her glory.
Sophie is very strong. She’s getting used to her new harness, and learning how to walk like a lady on leash. It’s a work in progress. She’s very food motivated and a fast learner, so training Sophie will be fun and easy peasy. She’s ready to learn… Are you ready to teach her? 
Her energy level isn’t crazy high, but she certainly could use some long walks and a consistent outlet to drain the energy she does have. She has a tendency to get amped up in typical boxer fashion and she is very vocal. Sophie would absolutely benefit from a human who is well versed in “boxer” and who can work with her in a positive way.  In her past life, we have been made aware that a pellet gun was fired off in the air, to get her attention and “recall” her.  It’s no surprise that the loud bangs, are scary for her.
Sophie doesn’t LOVE being left alone for long periods. She fusses about it, and we are pretty sure she’s saying “get back here, sit on the couch, and snuggle with me”. She does chill out after a few minutes and relaxes until her human comes back.  She isn’t alone for long periods, however, and is used to having company throughout the day.
All in all, this girl is your typical boxer. She just needs someone to put in the time and commit to some positive based training with her. With some exercise, attention, and boxer understanding, Sophie’s gonna SHINE!
She’s up to date on all her vaccines and is spayed. She is ready to find her forever home!!

OTHER DOGS? Not at this time. SHE needs more time to be her best self. In a few months, once she’s settled and has some training under her wiggle butt, perhaps she can meet some other dogs.
CATS? No
KIDS? No young kids. 12ish + could be ok
FENCED IN YARD? Most ideal for her. She loves to run and zoom. It’s her happy place, and we’d love for her to be able to experience that.
