About Sophie

Maltese mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

Meet Sophie!! Sophie's pictures don't quite do her justice because she is just one of the cutest little scruffmuffins ever! With big button eyes and a heart of gold, Sophie is the little lovely, kissy girl that will steal your heart! She is a two year old mix of Maltese and looks to be some type of terrier. Her coat is non-shedding and a bit more kinky than a pure Maltese but not wirey. Her original owner had her from puppyhood but lost her job during Covid and then moved to a new apartment that did not accept pets. So Sophie went to live with the young woman's Mom who did not really want her. Her Cocker Spaniel evidently did not like Sophie so they gave her away and we grabbed her. She was shaking like a leaf in the car on the way to her foster home but being as dog friendly as she is she warmed up right away. She absolutely loves dogs and cats and she has two best friends in rescue. Sadie, the Daschund that is up for adoption as well, and another dog named Yetti who is a 16 pound Maltipoo. She does really love to play but she is a huge cuddler and loves to hug and give kisses. She weighs about 9-10 pounds. She would do great in a variety of home settings but we feel she would do best with another dog. Her adoption fee includes the following: 1. Spay. 2 Current vaccinations including rabies 3 Microchip 4. New harness and leash 5. Bed 6. Starter food An adoption fee does apply. As we prescreen via email ONLY (we do NOT make or receive phone calls in the pre-screening phase) please tell us a bit about you such as: 1. Your lifestyle, activity level and work schedule. 2. Area you live in and if it is a house or apartment. 3. How many adults, children and pets in the household. 4. Where your pet stays when you are out or at work. 5. Where your pet will sleep. 6. Breed experience. 7. If you do not have a dog your plans to keep her socialized. Some notes to consider before applying for Sophie: 1.Sophie is part Maltese and Terrier so she will continue to require groomings.. 2. Please make sure you are ready to adopt before coming to see our adoptable dogs. We are a foster based rescue and do not have the space to hold dogs for a couple of weeks while you vacation or make your way to California to come and adopt. We will adopt out of state but ONLY if the potential adopter comes here to adopt in person and that is after a screening by Skype. WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS EVER. 3. We are often inundated with emails about our adoptable dogs and try as we might to make everyone happy it is nearly impossible with only one dog and sometimes up to 50 potential families. The more information you provide in your email to us the quicker we will get back to you. If you have written to us before about a particular dog and did not receive a response please do try again. We try to answer every email but it is not always possible. Every dog has different home requirements that we search for so sometimes you are the right fit for the dog we are trying to place. 4. As we have had some confusion as to our adoption process please note: Once we receive an email from you, IF we feel it fits the criteria we are looking for we will email back with a bit more specific information. From there if you are still interested we may or may not move ahead with a phone screen and then a meet and greet. Once we schedule a meet and greet more often than not the adoption takes place with the family we have chosen but it is NOT a guarantee as we do NOT adopt first come first serve. Our first commitment is to the well being of the dog as we back all the dogs we place for life. Thank you for choosing to adopt!
