Looking for a gentle, loyal companion to share your days with? Meet Sophie, a lovely older girl with a sweet nature and a playful spirit who is searching for a home to spend her golden years surrounded by love and comfort. Sophie is still settling into her new surroundings, so she can be a little reserved when first meeting new people or experiencing unfamiliar situations. Once she feels comfortable, her beautiful personality begins to shine. She is an affectionate girl who enjoys being close to her people and thrives on companionship. Sophie would love a home where someone is around more often than not, as she enjoys being part of the family and prefers not to be left on her own for long periods. She is also crate trained, making her transition into a new home that little bit easier. Don't let her age fool you, Sophie still has plenty of life left in her and absolutely loves to play! Whether it's enjoying a toy, engaging in a gentle game, or simply spending quality time with her favourite people, Sophie is always happy to join in. She would do best in a semi-active home that can keep her mentally and physically engaged while respecting her need for rest and relaxation. Sophie will require secure fencing and access to both indoor and outdoor areas. She is looking for a family that will welcome her inside as a valued member of the household, even when her owners are away. Sophie would be best suited as the only dog in the home if adopted separately. However, adopters looking to welcome two dogs into their lives may be interested to know that Sophie and Murray came into care together and could make a wonderful pair. Sophie would be best suited to a home with respectful teenagers aged 12 years and older who can understand when she would like a little space and who will appreciate her gentle nature. If you're looking for a kind-hearted, playful senior companion who will reward your love with unwavering loyalty and friendship, Sophie could be the perfect addition to your family. She is ready to find a caring home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort, companionship, and love.
