Owner Notes:
6/6/26: Sophie was surrendered after living with her family for eight years due to severe dog-reactive behavior in the home. The owner reported that Sophie attacked and killed one of the resident dogs and had begun bullying the household's older dog. While described as very sweet, cuddly, and affectionate with people, Sophie reportedly displays extreme reactivity toward other animals, including dogs, cats, and wildlife, and will lunge, bark, and attempt to bite when she encounters them on walks. Sophie is spayed, microchipped, potty trained, knows sit, and generally walks well on leash when no other animals are present.
She is currently heartworm positive.
