Terrier and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Merriam, Kansas

Hi, my name is Sophie, and everything about me and my personality fits my name. I'm sweet, friendly and loving. I've been a very good girl in the home, and I've had four wonderful years of experience with a family. I'll tell you why I've been surrendered in just a minute. First, all you want to know about little ole me! I've got femme fatale good looks, and my level of intelligence matches my beauty. My previous owner said that I'm completely house trained, and I also do well in a crate. I absolutely loved my fenced in back yard. I went in and out throughout the day, and I like to explore and take sunbaths whenever I can. I know "sit", "stay", "outside" and "high five".

When I was at the shelter the first time, staff knew that I didn't like children very much. Kids just fill me with anxiety. Now that the baby in my home has turned into a toddler and is toddling around, I've been very nervous and visibly upset. I don't like something that is as unpredictable as a child in my life. I want to be happy again, and I'm counting on someone wonderful like you to find me and give me a chance at a new home. Maybe your kids are grown? I'm really a wonderful girl, through and through. Can't you come and meet me? I'd sure like to find love again.
