About Sophia

Read this special story....can you help just one of 63 Chihuahuas rescued from unimaginable conditions in a Gettysburg home? You can foster or foster to adopt this precious little dog. Sophia, and 62 other Chihuahuas, were removed from a home in Gettysburg where they were living in deplorable conditions without access to food and water. The Adams County SPCA took custody of the dogs before Sophia came to Almost Home dog rescue. Sophia is a brave and sweet little dog who is learning that human touch is a good thing. She is approximately 4 years old and 11 pounds. She is making amazing progress quickly by letting her foster feed her by hand, pet her, and even pick her up. After a couple of days, she would come to her foster and likes to go to sleep with her foster sitting beside her with her hand on her back. She was a model patient at her vet visit and has never shown any aggression, despite a life where humans, not only did not give her love, but even the basics of a clean place to lay down and food and water. She has been fearful and will need some time to adjust to this new life where her needs are met. Sophia is looking for a foster, or even better, a foster to adopt where she can grow more confident as food, water, shelter, and love are consistently provided. She needs a calm home, at least at the beginning. Any children should be older (12+) and dog savvy. PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing and using the 'contact us' link is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. The adoption fee is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped. Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration. APPLY AT ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG (click on the word 'Adopt' at top of page to find the dropdown menu with application) We are a non profit no kill 501 (c)3 rescue. Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check, cash or venmo is preferred payment
