Sofia

Sofia's story is one of quiet resilience and incredible gentleness. She came to us four months ago from a hoarding situation, where she and her young puppies lived in heartbreaking conditions. Despite the neglect and abuse she endured, Sofia has remained a truly kind soul. She is slow to warm with new people - not because she lacks love to give, but because trust is something she's learned must be built carefully. Sofia will need a patient adopter who understands that she'll require several visits to feel safe and secure before heading home.<br/><br/>Once Sofia chooses you, her affection shines. She LOVES her person, thrives on attention, and soaks up pets. When she's happy, she'll even dance and prance for you, showing off her sweet, joyful side with full body and tail wags. She has a special love for wet food and does well with every dog her foster has introduced her to. While she seems to prefer the company of smaller dogs and can be very nervous around larger ones, she has shown herself to be gentle and appropriate in her interactions. She has also done well with initial cat testing. <br/><br/>Because Sofia would transition most easily in a calm, predictable environment, we are recommending a home without children. Her foster describes her as sweet, submissive, calm, and incredibly patient. Sofia is the kind of dog who doesn't rush love - but once you earn her trust, she gives it wholeheartedly. For the right home, she will be a deeply devoted, loyal, and grateful companion. <br/><br/>Sofia is around 5 1/2 years old. She is a beagle/lab retriever mix. Her adoption fee has lovingly been covered by an All Paws On Deck alumni family, in hopes to find Sofia the perfect home.<br/><br/><br/>Apply at allpawsondeck.org<br/>Must be 21+ to adopt<br/>Located in Griswold, CT<br/><br/>To adopt you must<br/>- Fill out an application at allpawsondeck.org<br/>- All your pets must be spayed / neutered and up to date<br/>- We can't adopt to MA residents due to State Laws.<br/>If the dog is posted, the dog is available.<br/>Only complete applications at allpawsondeck.org will be considered.
