Sophie's Story

Sophie is a beautiful purebred tricolor Mini Australian Shepherd with the softest eyes and the gentlest soul. She came to us from a rural Indiana shelter where she was completely shut down and overwhelmed. Because of that start, Sophie takes a little time to feel safe—but once she does, her true personality begins to shine.<br/>Patience with Sophie is always rewarded. When she warms up, you’ll be treated to the most heart-melting butt wiggles (that classic fluffy Aussie enthusiasm!), quiet affection, and a loyal presence by your side. She’s shy with people at first but incredibly gentle and sweet, never pushy, and very in tune with her environment.<br/>Sophie is great with other dogs and would love a confident canine companion to help her continue building confidence. She’s crate trained, housebroken, and walks nicely on a leash. She has a docked tail, is spayed, and is fully up to date on vaccinations.<br/>Sophie is looking for a calm, patient home that will let her move at her own pace and show her that the world can be kind. If you believe the best relationships are built slowly and deeply, Sophie may be your perfect match. If you are interested in meeting Sophie, please contact kathie@heridnghaven.org (Sophie is being fostered in Indiana).

Our Mission
Herding Haven rescues herding dogs from shelters where they have been deemed "unadaptable" due to physical, medical or behavioral issues (or sometimes just because the shelter is out of space). We place them in foster homes, rehabilitate them and then find them "forever" homes.
Please contact organization for hours
Visits by appointment only
