About Sophie

Adoption Fee: $75
Schnauzer
Age: Senior
Sex: Female

Sophie: 14 years old will be 15 in May. Sophie came into rescue needing us to help her. She has been groomed and at first had almost no hair. She has been vetted. She is heartworm negative, doesn't have any worms and has undergone surgery to remove most of her teeth. Between what had fallen out and the 15 that were removed she now has 4 teeth left. Sophie has been put on a joint supplement which has turned her into a much younger version of herself. Sophie is incredible old lady. She still has sass. She enjoys the company of other dogs. Both large and small. She has her own toys and while she isn't much into sharing them, she does enjoy playing with them and likes to have her person/people throw them for her. Due to her age she cannot jump on the furniture or your bed. She loves to have her own bed to sleep in and she wants her blanket with her wherever she sleeps. Sophie loves attention, being in your lap and will let you know where to pet and scratch her. She is not able to jump into your lap or back down to the floor. She likes a sweater or a coat when it is cold out. This girl is sweet. I don't know how she is with children but due to her age it would be my recommendation that she is in a home with kids over 12. Sophie has not been tested with cats, as I do not have any cats but I think that although she may be curious about them she would more then likely do okay with a cat or two. She has never had an accident in the house and when she is outside she does her business and comes right back inside. She eats softened but not soggy kibble with moist food added. If you are looking for a calm and sweet companion then you have found her. Her only downfall comes because of her Schnauzer breed. When someone comes into the house she gets so excited that she barks. We are working on her learning that less barking is a good thing. Age has taken the sharpness out of her vision but Sophie can hear whatever she wants to hear. She isn't deaf but she does have selective hearing. Sophie does need someone to love her. She does not have a male or female human preference because she likes everyone. She will try to convince you though that she is starving. She isn't. At some point Sophie was obese. Her weight is down and she is at a good weight and when the weather warms up she would be best served to increase her exercise. Sophie must have either a tie out or a secure fenced in area. Secure because she can be an escape artist. If not contained though Sophie will wander away. I'm not sure if she gets confused or if she just wants to explore but she will wander. if you would like to adopt Sophie please visit www.fewstepsfromhome.com to fill out the meet and greet application.
