27-08-26 Sophie is a very sweet-natured and placid girl who has come to us from a breeder. She is a gentle soul who doesn’t quite have the confidence to approach you just yet and instead follows her kennel friends around for comfort and reassurance. Sophie looks to them to help her feel safe, and she will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in her new home who she can lean on as she continues to grow in confidence and learn to trust the people around her.

Sophie has never lived in a home before, so her adopters will need to be kind, patient and understanding as she learns all about home life. She will need time to get used to house training and walking on a lead, and lead walking may be too scary for her at first. Some gentle garden sniffs and exploring in a secure garden will be a great place to start while she builds her confidence and learns that the world can be a lovely place.

Sophie can live with older, dog-savvy teens aged 16+ who are kind and sensible and can offer her the calm and quiet environment she needs to settle in. Her new family will need to give her plenty of time, patience and reassurance and allow her to progress at her own pace. With the support of her resident dog and lots of love, we’re sure Sophie will slowly begin to find her confidence and show everyone what a lovely girl she really is.
