Hi, my name is Sophie. I’m a young adult and I’m looking for my forever home. I’m a Miniature Schnauzer, about 11 pounds…. but don’t let my size fool you, my foster Mom says I am a pint-size protector! My schnauzer breed gives me supersonic hearing and while I might have a cauliflower ear it doesn't affect my hearing. I only bark when I am alarmed!
When I first came into my foster home; I was really scared. I had no idea what stairs, glass, or entryways were. Thanks to my foster sister I have learned we don't walk into the glass patio door… yes, I did that frequently. I really love being around my foster sister and will need another dog in my forever home to continue to show me how things work in this amazing new world. I recently have accomplished great things - stairs are amazing! I can do it! And that leash walking thing - my foster mom says I have great potential with more practice. For now, I do require a fenced yard.
I have learned that beds are AMAZING and you can find me sharing one with my foster sister. I also enjoy chewing on my dog rope and my nylabone. My potty training is going really well, I do well when I am on a schedule. My foster mom says she is surprised at how well I ride in a car. I do not like my travel kennel, so my foster mom keeps me on the floor of the car and ties my leash securely. Then I can I just lounge while foster mom chauffeurs me around! I have earned my foster family's trust so I am not kenneled during the day; just at night. My kennel is kept in my foster parents bedroom because I need to be close to them.
I haven’t met any young kids, meow animals or big dogs yet, so I’m not sure how I will react to them. Oh… I also need to let you know that if you want to adopt me, you will need a supply of cheese and strawberries… my favorite treats! I really can’t wait to meet you, so fill out that application right now! I think I’m gonna love you!

Some of our dogs are obtained from commercial breeders where they spent their lives getting comfort from their canine friends. Others have come from various situations where they are lacking confidence in humans. In turn, most require another companion dog in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog, and do not currently have a dog residing with you, please understand that your home might not be the right fit for many of our dogs.
