About Sophie
Sophie is a four year old German Shepherd whose family have made the hard decision to find her a new home.
Sophie is not suitable to go to a home with cats or pocket pets and hasn't been socialised with other dogs, so needs to go as an only dog.
Sophie has been with Bear the Dog Behaviourist for several months and is well trained to walk on a lead and be social with other dogs. The new owner will get a training session with Bear or Patrick to learn how to handle her.
Sophie loves the people she is living with but doesn't like visitors, so her new home will need to have a secure area to put her if they have visitors, or learn how to handle her.
She has a lot of energy so is looking for a home with an energetic person or couple, with dog savvy older children, who have recently had a German Shepherd and understand the time, commitment and on going training she will requirement.
Sophie loves cuddles and would be best suited to a home where she will be an integral family member.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd or large breed dog, and understand German Shepherd and think you have the energy to give me a new home, then please select the "Enquire about Sophie"
Medical notes
Sophie is microchipped, vaccinated and desexed.

Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
