Sonia's Story

Meet Sonia: The Cutest Little Lady Looking for a Forever Home!<br/><br/>8 year old, 55lb Sonia found herself at the shelter in the summer of 2025. Our team at Dog Coalition LA was immediately smitten with her. In play groups with other dogs at the shelter she was described as gentle, tolerant, and social. She tired out quickly and would adorably let volunteers know when she was ready to leave playtime by sitting at the door. She was affectionate with handlers and thanks to a dedicated foster, we were able to get her out of the shelter and into a foster home in September.<br/><br/>In her foster home, Sonia remains unsurprisingly adorable. She has become house trained, crate trained, and gained loose leash walking skills. She enjoys going on joint walks with her canine foster sibling. She is friendly, gentle, and easygoing. She recently had a simple surgery to remove a couple of benign masses that were bothering her. Overall, Sonia is a mellow and sweet older lady looking for a forever home that will love and care for her and find her as charming as we do.<br/><br/>Sonia is fostered with another dog. With slow introductions and proper management, we believe that Sonia could do well in a home with another dog given the right fit, which we are happy to explore with you! We also believe she would make a wonderful solo companion.<br/><br/>What You Should Know About Sonia:<br/><br/>- A cutie pie 8 year old lady looking for her forever home where she can chill, cuddle, and get a nice daily walk or two!<br/><br/>- Gentle and affectionate, ready to charm the pants off of the lucky people that get to call her their own.<br/><br/>- Might be nice for someone looking for a low-medium energy dog. Sonia would be happy to hang while you work from home or away, have a nice walk in the neighborhood, and loaf around.<br/><br/>To meet Sonia, please fill out an adoption form on dogcoalitionla.org/adopt and follow @dogcoaltionla for updates!
