Babe

3 Comments

Remember me Babe, the seven week old deaf puppy who had reconstructive surgery? Well I’m now almost six month old and will be going to my new home next week. I was officially adopted tonight and can’t wait to move into my new home. Despite my handicap, I have made outstanding progress in learning to understand signs and body language.

My potential is huge and I’m looking forward to learning more and having a great life. I hope I get to go swimming allot as I just love playing in water. For all those who think I should of been put down, even though it took several months, Sophie knew there was someone out there for me.

Sunshine and the 7 Rays

19 Comments

I’m Sunshine the young mom who was found with my 7 newborn puppies. My little Rays are almost seven weeks old and are now quite active, they are huge and have become quite a handful and are driving me and my foster mom crazy.

We are now looking for foster homes who can take my little ones in pairs, as it is too much for one person to handle all seven. This will help with their socialization until they are old enough to leave the nest for good.

I have four boys: Rayko, Raymond, Raylen, Rayven and three girls: Raylee, Raynelle, Rayann and they are all absolutely gorgeous.

You can see more pictures of the puppies taken from their foster homes on Facebook.

Noushka

1 Comment

Went to work with Noushka the three-legged Shepherd that came from Lebanon in her potential forever home on some of her issues while walking on leash. Of course she was on her best behavior most of the walk but displayed some of her fears which should be resolved with a little work on the family’s part. If all continues to go well she should have her home shortly.

Boy

3 Comments

My name is Boy. I am a sweet 7 year old dog who has lived a life tied to a dog house outdoors, and once my family decided I was ready to throw away and get a new puppy, some wonderful lady took me in to save my life. My breed has been a total guess, some said a mixture of Rotweiler/ChowChow, some said maybe Bouvier des Flandres/ChowChow, but after being with Sophie’s Dog adoption for several months, there is a good possibility I could be some kind of Otterhound mix. I have the characteristics and temperament, so it could very well be.

I have proven to be very good with the kids, but I can get excitable with excited, young kids, and huge dogs with little kids don’t usually mix too well. I am great with people, but have some ‘leash aggression’ when I meet other dogs. When off leash, it can go well, or it can go not so well. I definitely need someone who can work with me on socialization with other dogs, or keep me away from them.

I looooove the indoors. This family who took me in really showed me the life! I don’t ever want to end up outside again, even though I am big and hairy, I am no Bigfoot! I don’t belong outdoors, I am a big Teddy Bear who will keep you warm at night if you’ll let me!

I am a very good boy, I can stay alone during the day, am not destructive, of course due to my age not high-energy, but always willing to go with you. I love car rides, even if it’s to go to the corner store. But it’s always better to walk me there as I don’t like my nails being clipped, so I need to trim them by walking regularly.

I also love playing fetch, so someone who wants to spend some time throwing a ball around with me would keep me in shape.

Spike 2

Leave a comment

I am Spike 2. I am a sweet, smart, cute 5 month old (born in January 2010) and probably a Beagle/Boxer mix. I may have something else, like maybe Husky, as if you look at me very closely, you will see a faint mask above my eyes.

I am very smart, have learned how to heel, wait, sit, lay down, stay, go ahead and am fully housetrained. Of course, due to my young age, I am being crated during the day in order not to chew stuff up while you’re at work, but I am not a handful of a puppy.

I am very mellow indoors, and full of energy when it’s time to play outside. I love other dogs, kids, and could definitely live with cats as well.

Rouckey

Leave a comment

My name is Rouckey. I am a beautiful, tall Boxer, and I am looking for a new home. I lived in a family with 2 kids, and my mom became a single mom so I ended up being too much. I spent lots of time alone and she felt it was not fair. After all, I am a boxer and I need to run and exercise.

I am 2 years old, absolutely gorgeous and very friendly. I just arrived and am a little stressed and fearful, so I will be evaluated and worked with so I become a good family dog.

I get along wonderfully with other dogs, young, old, large and small, and am supposed to be good with cats. I obviously love kids, am very tolerant and playful with them.

Twix

Leave a comment

My name is Twix. I am a 9 month old Pug/Beagle mix (a little tall – but hey….), sweet as can be, very smart, obedient and friendly.

I am great with other dogs, love to play, good with cats, great with kids and just love people. I love attention, being petted, but I can be on my own to play with my toys as well. I have a thing for squeaky toys, I love those more than others!

I am good to stay alone during the day, I am fully housetrained, not a big barker as a rule, and very sweet. Still need a little work on the leah, but everything else I am very good at. I have had 3 basic courses with my first family, so not totally ignorant!

Gaetan

3 Comments

My new name is Gaetan, nicknamed Guy by my foster home. I am a mix, the guess is Boxer / Rhodesian Ridgeback due to my size and color. I am the sweetest guy, I was found as a stray and no one has come looking for me in the past 3 months. I was being held at a vet clinic in hopes someone would look for me, but in vain, so I was sent to Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

I am really sweet. Good with other dogs, calm during the day (don’t need a crate when I’m alone), would be good with kids as I am very gentle, well behaved and friendly. I am a loving boy, but curious about cats so I would need to learn how to behave around them.

Everything else about me is wonderful.

Seymour

Leave a comment

My name is Seymour, and my journey has been a sad and deceiving one. My breeds are a guess, possibly Beagle, maybe Pitbull, maybe Lab, or maybe anything totally different than those, it’s a mystery.

I originally came to Sophies Dog Adoption at the age of 5, and I was adopted by a wonderful gentleman who gave me this dignified name of Seymour (I used to be known as Patapouf – seriously!). I am now 9 years old, and unfortunately have to look for a new home once again.

I had a wonderful life, but the last year of his life has been rough and I really helped him get through a lot of things. Unfortunately, being originally from Europe, he decided to go back and see if there was more luck at earning a living over there, and was really hoping to have me sent back to him.

Sophie offered to take me back in foster care for about 6 months in hopes that my Dad would be able to get his life together enough for me to go live in Europe with him, but it looks like it will not happen or at least not for another year or so, and due to my age now, he has decided to let Sophie find me a new home in order to have a stable life for my retirement years.

I am the best! Good with kids, cats, other dogs, I love people and am a wonderfully calm and quiet dog. I can stay alone while you’re at work without getting myself in trouble or making a mess, I am not a barker, I am just a loving soul in need of a loving family.

Floyd

My name is Floyd. I am around January 08, and have already been looking for a new home since October 08.

I am a beautiful American Bulldog and have the goofiest look. You see, I have a tongue that is way too long for my mouth, so I keep half of it hanging out on the side, most of the time. It gives me the most adorable look ever! However, no worries, it is a ‘defect’ and not a medical condition. This does not affect my breathing and does not require surgery.

I could be great with kids with time, but right now I am not very gentleas I am strong andbulky.I am not so good with other dogs, I need to be introduced one on one by someone with experience, as I can be ‘picky’ about who I like or not. I do not do good with cats at all, even though I ignore them on the street.

I do have a bit of a ‘mop’ obsession, maybe I was teased/hit with one as a youngster, I really don’t remember where this ‘attack the mop’ mode comes from. I’ve been working on it with my foster homes, but it still needs lots of work.

I am definitely a great dog, but need a very experienced owner when it comes to large,’bully’ types of breeds, as I tend to become ‘top dog’ very quickly. Once I am trained to act properly, I will be the best dog ever. I am extremely friendly, affectionate, attentive, and cuddly.

Christelle

My name is Christelle, my sisters are Dawn and Oprah, even though we look nothing alike. We are born on November 23, 2009 and are looking for new homes.

Our mom is a Beagle/Teckel mix and dad, believe it or not, is a Shepherd/Husky mix. I take more after Mom, who looks like an overgrown Teckel. I have the markings, but they could also be from the Shepeherd in Dad. Either way, I am cute as a button.

Of course, we are not housetrained yet, but are learning to go on paper. We should learn very quickly, as we are very smart.

I am the most skittish, hiding more than the other 2 Our size as adults is a real guess, but it should be somewhere between 30-60 lbs. hopefully not more.

Gazelle

My name is Gazelle, and believe it or not, as cute and sweet as I am, I was going to be euthanized by my ‘breeder’ as I was no longer good enough for production. They claim I’m 4 and a half, but according to Sophie, I’m more like 6 years old. My teeth are so full of tartar, I may lose a lot of them. I delivered my last litter 6 weeks ago and was already I was taken away from my pups. Poor pups who will be sold for hundreds of dollars….. We live in a sad world.

However, I was rescued and brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption. I am paper-trained but also go outside, I am very mellow, a little skittish but really coming out of my shell as there are many dogs for me to learn from. I have been de-barked, so the neighbours won’t hear me, which makes me a good candidate for apartment living. It seems all my pups are de-barked at birth, just for that reason. To sell to apartment people.. Sad, but real!

I am very good with other dogs, would be good with kids as I am very tolerant of manipulation. So far, I have not growled, snapped, showed any teeth or anything of the sort.

I am supposed to be a ‘pure Chihuahua’, but it looks like I may have some Miniature Pinscher. Not sure, but could be. Either way, I am adorable with my big ears and curly tail!
