Meet Sophia!

She is three years old, brindle and white, and that smile is absolutely non-negotiable, it takes up her whole face and she deploys it freely and often.

Sophia is a Cattle Dog mix with a compact, athletic build, warm brown eyes, and the kind of joyful, bright energy that makes everyone around her immediately smile back. She is wonderful with other dogs, arriving October 10th, and at three years old she has that perfect combination of puppy enthusiasm and grown-up steadiness that makes her an absolute joy to be around.

She is the kind of dog who walks into a room tail up, ready for whatever comes next, genuinely delighted by all of it. Life is good and Sophia knows it and she wants you to know it too.

Twenty-four pounds of pure happiness looking for the home that matches her energy. Whoever finds her is going to feel it the moment they meet her.

The Australian Cattle Dog, also known as the Blue Heeler, is a hardworking and intelligent breed originally developed in Australia for herding cattle. Renowned for their endurance and agility, these medium sized dogs have a striking blue or red speckled coat and alert, curious expression. With a strong herding instinct and boundless energy, they require mental stimulation and physical activity to thrive. Blue Heelers are loyal, protective, and make excellent companions for active individuals or families willing to provide the engagement and exercise they need.
