Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie Dogs Available for Adoption in Zionsville, Indiana

Meet Sophie! Sophie is a 6-year-old, 17.9lbs, female Shetland Sheepdog. Sophie is very shy but very sweet lady. She will need some time and patience to truly blossom. Sophie does great with other dogs, her ideal home would have a confident canine companion to help show her the ropes. She is still unsure of the leash so a fenced in yard or x-pen for potty breaks would be ideal. Sophie is a bit overweight so she will need an adopter who is dedicated to helping her slim down and learn how to be a confident lady.

The adoption fee is $450. This includes the spay, dental cleaning, microchip, heartworm test, wellness bloodwork, fecal flotation and all core vaccines.

If you are interested in adopting Sophie, please e-mail adoptions@thelovepetproject.org with "Sophie" in the subject. Please also tell us about yourself and your household.
