Sophie - American Staffordshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

One volunteer described meeting Sophie as love at first sight. She has the sweetest face and an incredibly gentle demeanor. While she's a little shy outside of her kennel, she quickly warms up and happily soaks up affection. She let her volunteer cover her in kisses... then returned the favor with kisses of her own.

Sophie has done well during her temperament tests with other dogs, and volunteer after volunteer has come away saying the same thing... she's a certified good girl.
