Sophie - 1 1/2 year old female Cross-Breed

June 14th, 2008

Sophie is a 1 1/2 year old medium sized cross-breed female who came to us from Greece where she had been in a shelter for the past 14 months. Sophie is very, very nervous of people and her new home must understand that she may well carry her demons for years, she may never be confident around people.

We took Sophie as the rescue in Greece had exhausted their options on how to help her and just didn’t have enough time to devote to her needs. She needs a quiet, stable home with somone who is home all day to focus fully on her needs. She has been very good with the children she has met, but because of her nervous nature she may be unpredictable if startled, so as she is at the moment we will not be placing Sophie in a home with children.

She is good with other dogs and may benefeit from an older, confident dog to teach her the ways of the world. She has met cats here and has completely ignored them. The above photo of Sophie shows how she has come along since she has been here, when she is moved to a new home it will take time for Sophie to adjust and learn to trust you, but with alot of patience she will come around.
