Profile

Sophie is a very sweet and energetic 5 – 6 month old Beagle cross. She is not built like a Beagle, however. Her legs are quite long and she is currently about 16 inches tall at the shoulder, weighing in around 25 pounds. The vet estimates that she will reach 35 - 40 pounds when she matures. She has a very slender build but she has been underweight all of her life due to the problems she had with a constriction in her esophagus. She has had several procedures to correct this problem. A portion of her esophagus will always be narrower and she will not be able to be fed large sized food of any kind. Right now she is being fed canned food and will have kibble introduced soon. She is very food-motivated and would eat anytime. Sophie is a very friendly and outgoing puppy. She is great with kids but still jumps up on people. She loves other dogs and really enjoys playing and wrestling with a buddy. Sophie has been exposed to cats and is very interested in them. She doesn't try to hurt them but likes to try to play. She would love a home with another dog who loves to play as well. Sophie is crate-trained and house-trained. You can expect accidents when she moves to a new and unfamiliar home but in her foster home she scratches at the door or just stares at you to go out. She has had her vaccinations, has been de-wormed and has been heartworm tested. If you would like a wonderful, affectionate puppy and you are a patient pet owner who is willing to work through her eating challenges, then Sophie would be a great pet. Please call Sophie's foster mom Theresa at 725-4488 if you are interested in adopting Sophie.
