A little about them
Sophie is a gentle, affectionate Maltipoo with a soft heart and a growing sense of adventure. After her previous owner passed away, she came into foster care and has been sweet, polite, and beautifully adaptable. She loves being close to her person and is ready to blossom with patient guidance and encouragement.
Ideal Home
Sophie would thrive with someone who can offer love, patience, and gentle guidance as she continues exploring the world. She is initially timid with strangers but interested and willing to interact. She has been friendly and appropriate with other dogs.
Because of their small size, the rescue does not place dogs in homes with children under 5. Adopters must live in the immediate Austin area so the rescue can complete home visits and a trial adoption period.
Ongoing Health
Sophie weighs approximately 14 pounds and is in good health aside from needing to lose a couple of pounds. Daily walks and a normal routine should help. She is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on preventative, microchipped, and spayed/neutered. Her adoption fee is $550.
Training & Support
Sophie has had zero accidents in her foster home. She did not have much experience with walks previously, so leash walking is still new, but she is enjoying neighborhood walks and gaining confidence. She lived with two other dogs and has continued to interact well with dogs in foster care.
