Here's Sophie!
Sophie is a 7-year-old purebred Golden. She came from a very loving home and mistress. We are lucky to foster her. She was born and raised in a townhouse and is use to a tie-out. She isn't a Velcore dog, but likes to be where you are. She needs 2 walks a day, which she enjoys. She weighs 60 pounds, walks great on a Gentle Leader, pulls on a leash. Loves car rides, little barking, loves the water, which I found out when I visited my sister and she flew into a very skunky pond. Bath #1. She was very good in the bath.
She went to the vet yesterday and received a clean bill of health. She may have some seasonal allergies. The vet suggested a change of food, so we will try that. She is not cat tested, but at the vet, she was very curious about the vet cats. She did have an altercation in her previous home, where she was attacked while tied up. It was determined she was just defending herself.
She does jump when someone new enters; I'm working on that. She can sit, settle, come. She seems to have some selective hearing. She has been exposed to other dogs, but needs slow introductions. Right now, I would say an only dog forever home and no cats. Someone who will include Sophie in their family activities. I will check her out with kids this weekend. Maybe not small children.
She will be at the Edina Chuck and Dons's on Saturday, 6/7.
