Sophie is a 14-year-old, 8-pound Maltese who has lived her whole life as a pampered princess and sees absolutely no reason to stop now. This is one spunky feisty girl!
She is not here for chaos. Not here for loud households, small grabby humans, or dogs who don't understand the concept of personal space. She has standards. They are non-negotiable and she expects her wishes to be followed!
Here is what Sophie has requested...ok, demanded: a calm home, a person who appreciates a dog with a personality, and access to good food. She is a committed foodie and she will absolutely judge you for the quality of what ends up in her bowl.
She's not a lap dog. Let's be clear about that. She's not going to drape herself across you and stare adoringly into your eyes (Even though she will give you some sweet kisses... If you're lucky). She's more of a "I'll be in the same room and I know exactly where you are at all times" kind of companion. Independent but loyal. She keeps tabs.
At 14 she has some hearing loss and her vision is declining, which mostly means she has stopped pretending to listen to things she disagreed with anyway. No known health issues beyond that. She is spunky, she is feisty, and she has absolutely no interest in slowing down.
Sophie is a wonderful senior dog that is fully, completely, unapologetically herself. No guessing, no waiting to see who she'll become.
The person who adopts Sophie isn't just rescuing her. They're getting extremely lucky
