Everyone adores Sophie ! She is an amazing, friendly dog that loves nothing more than a cuddle and a lap to snuggle up on. Since arriving at the centre she has become such a favourite of all that work there, but now needs a forever home to call her own. RSPCA West Hatch in Taunton, Somerset are hoping to find the perfect place for her to spend her retirement years.
She is an 11yr old medium size cross breed, and has been lucky enough to spend quite a bit of her time in a foster home, so it’s been good to be able to see how she would behave in her forever home. In fact she has done brilliantly ! She didn’t take long to settle in and once she’s had a nice run around in the garden she will happily settle down on the sofa or your lap for a snooze. She’d like to be your only dog as she’s not that comfortable in the company of other doggies and when out on a walk, she prefers to cross the road with you, to avoid having to pass them. She will chase little furries, and is slightly deaf, so will need to be on her lead when out and about, for her own safety.
Sophie loves to meet new people when out on her walks and is good in the car too. She’d love to accompany you on nice days out and likes to have people with her at home as she doesn’t do well on her own., Therefore any time that she is left, would need to be built up slowly, so she can learn that you will be coming home and not leaving her. Currently 1 hour is what she is used to.
Sophie knows some basic commands and could happily live with children of secondary school age. All the more cuddles for her !
If you can offer special Sophie a loving forever home, please contact RSPCA West hatch Animal Centre below.
