Sophie - Shih Tzu Dog for Adoption in Leander, Texas

Sophie is a little firecracker. She is a burst of joy, energy, and pure affection. She loves to zoom around the yard and carries stuffed animals around whenever she gets a chance. But she also loves snuggling time and belly rubs and will happily curl up next to you. She adores her foster dad and thrives on human companionship. She will let you know when she wants attention, her little howls are the cutest! Sometimes, she will just stare at you with her cute little tongue sticking out, so adorable.

Sophie came to us with heartworm infection and is finishing up her heartworm treatment. She is currently in a foster home with 2 boy dogs (Beagle and Maltese), and a cat. She has been getting along very well with the other dogs. When they are trying to be rude by being pushy or be in her bubble, she has been correcting them with a little growl (the cutest!!!), and the boys have respected it. She is ignoring the cat.

Sophie is looking for a family who will include her in their daily activities and give her the love and affection she deserves. She will need regular professional grooming.
If you are looking for a loving dog with a funny personality to brighten your days, Sophie is the girl for you.
