A Little Bit About Me…

A volunteer writes:   Oo la la! The name Sophie (my favorite name) is French in origin and means ‘wisdom’.   So, in addition to being elegant and beautiful which is how I generally think of French women, Sophie is also smart!   Surrendered by her family due to allergies, we’re told that Sophie played with the family cat but knew when to give the cat space.   I sure call that smart!   She was also relaxed and gently playful with the children and the small dog in the home, is housetrained  both for outside (check) and on wee wee pads, friendly towards strangers, doesn’t guard her things, and doesn’t mind a bath.  Sophie is stunning in her caramel and white coat, and so elegant looking.  She has the cutest pink nose, an ever wagging tail,  and a coat as soft as the finest velvet. Joining me on the bench for some soft kisses and hugs, she takes treats gently, makes soft eye contact with her gorgeous amber eyes, and gives me the softest smile as we chat.  Sophie is adjusting to this big change in her life, to being without the family she loves, and is making new friends daily. Her former family says she’s family oriented, protective and loves children.  I look forward to spending more time with her, but mostly I look forward to watching her wag her tail out the door with her new family.   She has so much love to give a new family, shouldn’t it be yours?
