About Sophie

Golden Retriever mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Sophie is a young, happy, silly Golden- full of personality. She is very loving and attentive to her people. However, she can be a resource guarder with other dogs and would, therefore, do best as an only dog in a home. Health: Sophie has no known health issues. She is up-to-date on vaccinations as well as heartworm and flea/tick prevention. She is microchipped. Personality: Sophie is a professional snuggler. She loves to be curled up with her people and will follow wherever they go. She will be your shadow. For that reason, she would love a home where someone is home a good deal of the time. Sophie loves to play with toys by herself or with people. She always carries her babies (soft toys) with her. She is generally calm and easy going in the house. She does bark at the doorbell or if something catches her eye outside. She is happy and relaxed meeting strangers-if she is excited, she may jump up and try to give a hello hug. She is not mouthy. She has good house manners and has free range when left home alone. Outside in the yard, Sophie can be excited by people and general neighborhood activity. She sometimes will bark excitedly but settles down when redirected. She can be anxious in new situations-but taking time and being patient with her, she settles. Getting out her extra energy through exercise is very helpful. She can be opinionated and may bark when confused or excited, but Sophie is a people pleaser-she wants to do whatever her people ask of her. Fence requirements: Sophie would enjoy a home with a fenced yard. She is a young dog and will need playtime to get her energy out. She loves to chase toys and balls (but will not return them), play tug of war and run. Leash manners: Sophie loves going for walks. She should be walked with a harness, not a collar. She has good leash skills- she does not pull and listens well. She is a great exercise buddy, but also enjoys time to stop and smell the flowers. She likes hikes and exploring and generally is just happy to be out and about. She travels well in the car. To Apply - complete an application on our website: https://grrsm.org/adopt-a-golden
