Sophie's Story

Sophie is a beautiful little red head Golden with a whole lot of love to give. She wants to make everyone she sees her new best friend and seems like she would do great with other dogs. Her favorite toy is her kong, but she'll take a ball too and carry them around like it's her security blanket. We are still working on her leash walking skills but she is happy to work for her treats. She would be a great family dog or a great forever friend for one lucky person. Come get some of that famous golden love and return the favor!<br/><br/>APPROXIMATE WEIGHT: 53 lbs.<br/><br/>ESTIMATED DOB: 3/26/2025<br/><br/>GOOD WITH OTHER DOGS:<br/><br/>GOOD WITH KIDS: yes<br/><br/>GOOD WITH CATS: yes<br/><br/>REQUIRES A FENCE: no<br/><br/>ACTIVITY LEVEL: med-high<br/><br/>LIKES TO VOCALIZE: yes<br/><br/>SPECIAL NEEDS: no<br/><br/>BREED EXPERIENCE NEEDED: no<br/><br/>APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT FOR 1ST TIME DOG OWNER? yes<br/><br/>FREE OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS OFFERED WITH ALL DOG ADOPTIONS<br/><br/>​Please note that we are often asked if dogs are "house trained". The dogs are in fact living in a kennel environment during their time with us. Even if they have previously lived in a home and been trained - the stress of the change and the new home can sometimes cause regression and require some additional training. We feel that it's best for all adopters to be prepared for this possibility.<br/>Visit our adoption page for details about our process, and to fill out an adoption application. All animals come spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, and microchipped. If the animals age or health prevents any of these from being completed prior to adoption a voucher is issued for the services to be performed. If you have any questions about the animal, or our adoption process, please email adopt@littleguild.org. The Little Guild is a 501c(3) federally recognized non-profit organization devoted to saving the lives of homeless pets.
