Sophia's Story

Meet sweet Sophia! This beautiful 11-year-old Shih Tzu weighs about 14 pounds and is looking for a loving family to spend her golden years with. <br/><br/>Sophia came to Dogworks as an owner surrender after her person developed health issues and could no longer care for her. While saying goodbye was difficult, we are determined to find Sophia the wonderful home she deserves. <br/><br/>Sophia is a very chill, gentle girl who enjoys playing with toys and hanging out with the other dogs in her foster home. She is friendly, affectionate, playful, independent, quiet, and definitely has a little couch-potato side! <br/><br/>She does well with women, dogs, and cats, and her foster feels she would do well in just about any home. She is good meeting new people and enjoys her morning activities. Sophia walks nicely on a leash and is crate trained. She is also doing very well with potty training, with only the occasional accident.<br/><br/>Sophia would love a home with a secure fenced yard—a 4-foot fence is perfect—where she can safely enjoy a little room to roam. <br/><br/>At 11 years old, Sophia isn't looking for a wild life of adventure...she is looking for something much better: a soft place to land, a family to love her, and someone who will cherish her for all the years she has left. <br/><br/>If you think Sophia might be the perfect little companion for you, please consider giving this sweet senior girl the happily-ever-after she deserves. <br/><br/>She is spayed, vaccinated, and is on monthly flee/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $150.<br/><br/>Please follow the link below for the adoption application. Note: applicants must live within one hour of Toledo, Ohio.<br/><br/>http://www.dogworksohio.com/adoption-application.html

DogWorks Inc. Canine Rescue and Placement's Adoption Policy
Dogworks strives to place dogs into permanent homes based on the dogs' personalities and yours. To adopt a dog, we require a completed application, signed adoption contract, and home visit. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or in person at adoption events. Once your application has been submitted, we will contact your references and consider suitability. You will be contacted by phone or email, typically within 4 business days, to make arrangements for adoption. If a particular dog is not placed with you, it does not mean that your application has been rejected. Dogworks receives multiple applications for some dogs. Foster families always have the first option to adopt. We do not approve applications on a first come basis as we strive for placement that is best for the dog and adoptive family. The home environment, family composition and yard are very important considerations in our decision to place a dog in a home. Some dogs do not do well with young children or cats, and our hounds require a fenced yard as examples of our decision process. Adoption fees are variable (typically $125-$500.00) and are listed with the description of each dog. All fees collected are used to cover rescue expenses, including foster care and veterinary expenses. Adoption fee will be refunded if you decide that the dog is not compatible with your family within 2 weeks. All dogs have received age appropriate vaccinations, GI dewormer, and heartworm test prior to adoption if they are old enough. Adult dogs and puppies older than 12 weeks are spayed/neutered. Adopters of younger puppies may be required to sign an agreement to complete spay/neuter by 5 months of age. We will assist with spay/neuter costs. All of our dogs and puppies will be microchipped prior to adoption. Adopters will receive a copy of medical records when adoption contract has been signed and adoption fees have been paid in full. Requirements for adoption: Please be aware that your adoption application WILL NOT be approved by Dogworks unless ALL of these criteria are met: >Adopters must be within a one hour radius of Toledo. >Adopters must be at least 21 years of age. >Veterinary reference must be positive. >All dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered. >All members of the household must be in agreement to adopt. >Individual needs of the dog must be met in prospective home (e.g., fully fenced yard for all hounds).
