Sophie

My story

Sophie is two yo. She has been good with the dogs she has encountered. She knows basic commands and fetches. We have an invisible fence and she does great with it, even when other dogs walk by. She loves being right with her family. She is a follower so if you have a calm stable dog she will fall in line, if you have a hyper and reactive dog that is how she will act. We have not been able to get her to leave the cats alone, she just tries to herd them as is her breed. But one of the cats is special needs, we were hoping Sophie would get used to them as she got older. She definitely prefers kids who leave her alone. I would highly recommend no small children as she tries to herd them. I think her ideal home would be one that understands the needs of Australian Shepherds, has no small kids or animals, and room to run. I think someone who could train her for agility would be great. Also someone able to work with her on walking properly as she likes to just run around us on walks.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sophie, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
