Sophie Poodle & Golden Retriever Mix Oswego, IL

Meet Sophie — the shy sweetheart with a splash-loving soul!

8 months
40 lbs

Sophie is an adorable young pup with the perfect mix of playful energy and cuddle-up charm. She’s house trained and crate trained, and while she’s come a long way in foster care, she’s still learning to feel fully comfortable in new environments.

Her favorite thing in the entire world? Water! Whether it’s a bath, the garden hose, or even just splashing in her water bowl—Sophie is happiest when she’s getting wet. It’s her absolute favorite kind of fun.

She can be very shy when meeting new people, so she’ll need a patient and understanding family that’s committed to continuing her training and socialization. Since big transitions can be overwhelming for her, a quieter home with older children (if any) would be the best fit. Once she warms up, though, her playful personality starts to shine.

Sophie lives for doggy playtime and absolutely loves romping around with the resident pups in her foster home. When the zoomies are over, she’s all about snuggles and sticking close to her people.

If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts fun and affection—with a soft heart that just needs a little time and love to blossom—Sophie might be your girl.

Apply today to give this water-loving wallflower the forever home she deserves!
