Sophie is a true southern sweetheart! She came to HART from South Carolina and recently went into a foster home. She has settled well and is showing what a great dog she is. She has a gentle personality and is a great listener.
Her foster family reports that she easily adjusted and immediately took to the two children (ages 8 and 9) in the home. Within a day, Sophie impressed them by showing that she already knows "sit" and "down" and is quickly picking up on "stay." Although she's always excited to go for a walk, she is learning to sit nicely while she waits to have her leash put on. She walks nicely on leash without pulling and responds immediately to gentle corrections. Sophie enjoys looking out the windows watching the squirrels go by and rolling around to scratch her back. She is house trained and will sit by the door when she wants to go outside.
