About Sophie
Sophie is a lover....a lover of people. She is an 11 month old mixed breed dog (german shepherd x kelpie x heeler x ridgeback) that is the size of a small kelpie.
Sophie is active and agile. She is a talkative girl that will be vocal if she is not with her humans. Sophie has been found to be good with other dogs....her eyes are for humans but she will play with another dog. She has been fine with dog savvy cats but if they were to run Sophie would chase.
Sophie still needs some training but is very smart and keen to learn. She is best suited to a home with acreage to run and expel some of that energy and someone that is home a lot as she craves that attention and companionship.
Sophie is good with older children but not suitable for toddlers as she would knock them over in her enthusiasm and also sometimes still mouths in her excitement.
Sophie has a real devotion to men. Interestingly she came from a home with a single mother and children. We suspect the eldest child - male teenager spent a lot of time with Sophie as she whimpers and squeaks with excitement when she see's men and is in heaven when they pat her and talk to her.
With training Sophie would be an awesome flyball or sports dog due to cat like athletic abilities.
Adoption details
We like to take the personal approach where a person sends an email of interest around an animal and then we will follow up with phone discussions and email exploration through a survey.
Please note we are a small group of volunteers that balances the administrative side with the care of the animals.
Please only apply for one of our animals if you are genuinely interested in them.
We expect the prospective owner to travel to meet the animal and we are open to trial periods to ensure we have the match right.
