ARE YOU READY FOR A PUPPY?

Sophie is an adorable little PomChi, just under 16 weeks old. She is a bundle of infectious energy with antics that will melt your heart. Teeny at just 4 pounds, we expect she will remain on the smaller side, and will likely top out around 6 lbs! But despite being teeny, Sophie has a BIG personality, whether it’s charming every new person she meets, entertaining herself for hours, like tossing her toys around the room and chasing after them, or looking for trouble exploring the nooks and crannies in her new environment. Sophie is always ready for fun and for affection! She’s a quick learner and has already adjusted to her foster home with ease in just a few days.

She knows how to use her crate as a safe space and loves going inside for a little “time-out”. She is also potty trained and will wake up in the night with little whimpers when she needs to use her pee pad. She’s still teething, so she’s curious about chewing on household items, but with some redirection, she’s learning the ropes of what’s hers to chew and what’s not.

Sophie hasn’t had the chance to socialize much with other dogs yet due to her age, the cold weather and being under-vaccinated until recently, but we are sure that her easy-going nature will make her a great companion for another small dog.

This girl will thrive in a home where she’s loved, stimulated, and has plenty of opportunities for play. She would do best with an active family or individual who has time to dedicate to her training, socialization, and daily play. She will need patience, supervision and continued support with learning boundaries and continued potty training.

At the time of adoption Sophie will be vaccinated and microchipped and will be spayed at the appropriate age. We recommend kids 10 plus.
