Meet Sophie – Your Cozy, Sweet-as-Can-Be Best Friend

Sophie is the definition of a gentle, loving companion who came into rescue when her owner could no longer care for her. This precious girl lives for the simple joys in life: cuddling up under warm blankets, squeaky toys, leisurely daily walks, soothing ear scratches, and of course… treats! Most days she’s calm and content, but don’t be fooled — after snack time she’s known to show off her silly side with adorable roll-overs and requests for belly rubs.

Sophie thrives on routine and truly shines in a predictable environment. She’s fully house-trained, leash-trained, and crate-trained, and she’s so comfortable with her routine that she happily puts herself to bed when it’s time. She knows exactly when it’s walk time versus potty time — she’s a smart little lady who loves knowing what comes next. While Sophie prefers a quieter home where she can feel safe and relaxed, she warms up quickly to new people once she knows she can trust them.

A home with a yard (no fence required) would be ideal so she can enjoy fresh air and gentle outdoor time at her own pace. Sophie would do best as the only pet, where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. This sweet girl is very food-motivated and happily finishes her meal with a little sprinkle of pupperoni for extra flair. She has no major medical concerns that were identified — just a simple medicated bath every 1–2 weeks to keep her skin healthy, which she handles like a champ. Sophie is looking for a calm, understanding home that appreciates routines, respects her boundaries, and adores her gentle nature. In return, she’ll offer unwavering loyalty, endless cuddles, and the kind of quiet companionship that makes a house truly feel like home. If you’re searching for a loving, well-mannered little soul to share cozy days and peaceful walks with, Sophie may be your perfect match.

Sofie's adoption donation is $400 and she is being fostered in the Central Ohio area. She has been spayed, microchipped, received her rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella vaccines, tested negative for heartworms and started on prevention, as well as flea prevention. She has also had a dental cleaning.

PLEASE NOTE:   If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), not all information transfers to partner websites in some instances.  If you go to the  individual webpage of our dogs , you will be able to get more information each dog.

Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable so, in many cases, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix.  We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Our Adoption Process

The adoption process has several steps involved. Please review prior to submitting an application. Our adoption process is detailed here:  http://www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/info/adoption

Our volunteers work very diligently to process each application and we try to ensure that we are making the best match possible for each dog.  We do not schedule meetings with dogs until an application has been approved.  It can take up to a few weeks to process an application or as little time as a few days, from the time you submit an application, please be prepared to adopt as we cannot hold dogs.

Special Requirements

Some dogs may have special requirements (for example, medications, a fence) -- if you apply for a dog, please be sure to read over the biography completely to see if there are any special needs and if you're home would be suitable.  If we indicate on the dog's biography that a fence is required, this means your home must have a physical fence.  Other dogs may require a "strong vet reference" which indicates that we are looking for a home that has a documented history of veterinary care with previous pets. 

The first step in our process is to submit an online adoption application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms.  The application MUST include the personal references and veterinary, grooming, and landlord references (if applicable) and their respective contact information.  If you do not include the references and the contact information, your application will be delayed as it CANNOT be processed.  Once the references have been successfully completed, a home visit is then scheduled when a rescue representative can meet all members of the family or residents of the home.  No application is approved prior to the home visit being done.   At that point, the Directors will discuss any and all applications on a foster dog and make a selection--in many cases, there are multiple applications for each dog, so please be understanding that our only priority is the successful placement of each of our foster dogs.

Out of State Adoptions

We do adopt out of state to outstanding applicants, however, our process requires a home visit, so out of state adoptions can take longer.  We do not ship our dogs, adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio.
