Alexandre the Great

I’ve been named Alexander the Great little puppy!

I’m a 2 month old Great Dane, but I suffer from a condition called cerebellar ataxia. It’s a brain problem that prevents normal coordination to the limbs. The wires get crossed and I walk with a wobble. That means I will never walk normally.

However, it’s not severe, as I’m actually able to walk. The vet says that as I get stronger and my muscles develop, it may get a little better.

I will most likely not become a huge boy, but you have to realize I will still be a big boy. At 9 weeks old, I already weigh 15lbs.

I’m a great little pup, but being very young I need to learn everything. Wires and shoe laces are my favorite toy right now, so I need constant supervision. Like a toddler, if you do not see/hear me, go see what I’m up to.

I already know to get out of my bed to pee and poop, so within the next month I should have it all figured out. I don’t do stairs yet, so I’m looking for someone on a ground floor as I’ll start getting heavy. With my wobble, stairs might be challenging.

If you think you’d want to give me a chance as a wonderful home, please put in your application.

Spooky Huahua

I’m Spooky Huahua, a sweet and gentle 10 year old chihuahua.

I’m super friendly, pipi pad trained and very quiet.

I have zero teeth, so no worries there about future dentals! I love everybody, including the dogs living in foster care with me.

I’m healthy, full of life and ready for another 10 years in a wonderful home.

Sonic

I’m Sonic, a one year old chihuahua mix from Mexico.

I was found as a stray along with a bunch of us, and were brought to Isla animal shelter.

Sophie’s Dog Adoption has taken a few of us from there as there is an overpopulation and we need good homes.

I’m a little nervous about this cold weather coming, but with time and warm jackets, I’ll get used to it.

I’m great with other dogs, people and most likely kids too. I don’t have a mean bone in me.

So if you think I’m the one for you, put in an application and let’s eventually meet.

Paco Mork

I’m Paco Mork, a sweet and gentle 7 year old Yorkshire/Maltese.

I’m looking for a new home due to no fault of mine, just another landlord making his own rules.

I’m super sweet, a little shy at first, but well behaved in general.  I’m not yet neutered (due to lack of space), so I’m marking my territory in the foster home as there are other dogs, but that will be resolved once neutered and in a stable home.

If you think you’d like to get to know me and see if we could become lifelong buddies, I’m game!

Lili ChiChi

I’m Lili ChiChi, a sweet 6 year old Chihuahua.

I was used for breeding so not the most socialized, but coming around slowly. I’m the kind of Chihuahua you can’t “rush”. I’ll come to you when I feel I can trust you!

However, I’m super cute, not barky and generally good with my foster siblings here.

I’m hoping for a wonderful home, where my adopter will understand my need to go slowly. I won’t be jumping on your lap for kisses right away, so if you’re ok with that, put in an application and let’s get to know watch other.

Max Chi

I’m Max Chi, and you guessed it! I’m a Chihuahua and I’m three years old.

As many little dogs, I have luxation of the patella (very mild), and being a CKC stud, I’m longer good for reproduction and was sent to Sophie’s Dog Adoption, as the vet refused to euthanize me.

Sophie’s having me neutered soon, and I’m looking for a nice home where I’ll be loved for who I am, and not for the money I can make you.

I’m very skittish, never been outside and not really socialized, so a patient person/couple is what I need. I’m not sure if I’d be a fan of children, that would have to come with time.

If you’re looking for your next best friend, I may very well be him!

DJ

Hello good folks of Canada! I’m DJ, a senior Yorkshire terrier mix who ended up at a high kill pound in Virginia.

While on a visit, a wonderful lady decided to bring me back to her homeland to give me a chance at life. My age is estimated at about 11, but I’ve still got some good years ahead.

I’ve had a full dental with extractions, I’m fully vaccinated and of course neutered as well.

I’m a little stiff, arthritis, but other than that still very healthy. My eyes are not the greatest, but we really use our nose more that our eyes, so I’m totally fine.

Stairs, not a fan, so one story house or apartment with an elevator would be perfect.

That being said, I’m looking for a quiet home to adopt me and give me love and great care for my old days.

I’m truly a sweet boy and hoping for a wonderful home. I’m actually looking forward to snow! It might be fun….

If you want to be my next best friend, put in a request and get to know me. Seniors can make the best dogs.

Ol’Barney

I’m Ol’Barney, a 10 year old Boston/Shih Tzu mix. I’m a big boy, weighing in at about 30 lbs.

Unfortunately I’ve had food allergies all my life, which caused major ear inflammation and as a result of never being treated, my ears are swollen, lumpy and completely closed up. I may even be deaf. I also carry my head to the side, again due to my untreated ear issues.

I’ll be going to the vet for the first time, where not only I’ll get neutered but we’ll see about my ears. Unfortunately, I don’t think they’ll get better. We just got to keep me in a good diet. No chicken, no grain.

I’m super sweet, good with other dogs, lived with a child and generally a good dog. Leash walking is a bit challenging as I was never taught and can get reactive towards other dogs.

I’m looking for a home for my last gre years where I’ll be getting what I need as I age. I’ll be your best friend, if you’ll have me!

Rambo Derman

I’m Rambo Derman, a stunning 2 year old extra large, male doberman. I’m good with dogs, lived with cats in the past and looking for the right home.

I’m eager to learn, especially if the reward is a ball. I’m looking for my 3rd home through no fault of mine. My first home left me behind when they left the county.

My second home adores me, but I don’t adore the kids. I’m very uncomfortable around them, every time they move I growl at them.

I’m not at all agressive, but I sure am impressive. My bark is loud, and my teeth are big.

I love the ball, I would do super well with agility. I’m active, young, affectionate and would love an active home.

DOGS FOR ADOPTION

The adoption process through Sophie’s Dog Adoptions consists of filling out an application form to adopt, a full screening is done to ensure that the dogs I place will in fact be going to good, forever homes. These dogs have been through a lot already, and don’t deserve to come back again and again. The right family / person is out there for each dog. The process can sometimes be longer than with other rescue groups or organizations, but an animal is for life and it should not be something to rush into. Once I am satisfied that the family/person meets the criteria to adopt one of my dogs, then the adoption is finalized with a contract. ADOPTING A PET IS NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY, IT IS, IN MY OPINION, THE SAME AS ADOPTING A CHILD.
