Sophie #4203
Sophie will thrive in a home with older children who can match her enthusiasm and appreciate her goofy charm. She’s also a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs and would love to have a high-energy, playful dog sibling or neighbor to romp around with in the yard. Sophie is also cat friendly; her gentle and curious demeanor make her a great companion for feline friends as well.
When Sophie isn’t playing fetch or going for walks, she’s happy to chill by your side, soaking up all the love and affection she can get. She’s located in the Portland area and is eagerly waiting to meet her new family.
Sophie will be spayed soon and when she heals, this friendly and energetic girl will be looking for a forever home where she can share her love of life—and maybe some cuddles on the couch. If you’re looking to add a bundle of joy to your life, Sophie could be the perfect fit. Stay tuned for updates!
January 26, 2025: Sophie is celebrating one week in foster care and all is going well. One thing the foster is working on is having Sophie not jump up and be nippy and when she’s super excited. The foster mom is teaching Sophie “touch” instead where she gets rewarded for good behavior. The foster is also working on loose leash walking, and Sophie is picking it up readily. She’s also mastered “sit” and “down”, and “stay” is a work in progress. Crate training is going well too. While she’s not thrilled to go in, Sophie is doing much better settling quickly to rest.
Sophie loves to run around in the yard and also loves her toys and has been playing by herself pulling different toys out of the basket.
Sophie also hasn’t had a single accident or chewed something she isn’t supposed to.

January 19, 2025: Sophie got picked up and driven to the Portland area to meet her foster. She was excited but well behaved in the car, although the transporter was glad to have her tethered with a harness in the back seat as it was clear that Sophie would rather ride shotgun. It didn’t help that Sophie could smell dog treats in the front seat!
Once back at her foster home. Sophie met the chill resident dog. She kept trying to get him to play and he kept telling her he wasn’t interested, but she’s hoping she might win him over.
Sophie had a long day and was more than ready for bedtime when the time came.

Sophie’s Story: Sophie was surrendered by an owner who loved her very much but who has a health issue that made her unable to care for a young dog, so she made the tough decision to surrender her to GBR. In addition to her owner, Sophie lived with the owner’s small dog and cat and did well with both. The owner even brought a trainer in to teach Sophie how to use a treadmill as the owner’s health got worse.
