Sophie is a 5-1/2 year old (white) Schnauzer Poodle mix with tan ears and a few tan spots. She is described by her foster mom as “easy to care for” but very active, so Sophie’s forever home needs a fenced yard and someone to play with—maybe kids older than 8 or even another playful canine friend. She loves to play with other dogs, does well on a long leash. She is crate trained, house trained and knows basic commands. Because of her breed mix, she will need to be groomed regularly. Sophie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Sophie is being fostered in Elkhart, Indiana. For more details about Sophie, contact her foster mom Sharon at (574) 220-6485.
