Sophie's Story

Sweet Sophie is a 7 year old, 9 lb. Chi. She came to us with a pretty bad case of Color dilution alopecia which has improved significantly. We expect her hair to grow back in fully over time. She came in with another dog from the same home so definitely dog friendly. We would recommend a home with no small children. <br/><br/>From her foster mom: "Sophie is doing great overall. She is very obedient but takes a little time to warm up to new people. Fully crate trained and responds to her name. Loves routine and easily adjusted to our schedule. Barks randomly at my husband and girls when walking into the room sometimes but fairly quiet. Gets along fine with cats and with other small dog in the home. Would make a great dog for someone who has patience to potty train her a little. Very trainable!!

Black Dog Club's Adoption Policy

Blackdog Club makes every effort to match potential adopters with a pet that shares similar personalities and lifestyle traits. We do not adopt based on looks. The first step in our process is a meet and greet here at the rescue facility. If you are adopting a dog into a home where there is an existing dog, we do recommend a formal meet and greet between the canines here at the rescue. Proof of vaccinations are required for any pet coming onto the property. We recommend emailing a copy of your adoption application prior to any meet and greet to expedite the adoption process. A vet reference is required prior to adoption. If this is a first pet, we encourage potential adopters to seek out and establish a relationship with a vet prior to application submission.
