Sophie Disco Dot Loyal and Gentle

My story

Sophie here is just about the sweetest, sensitive, people-centered pup with quiet, loyal energy I have ever met. She isn’t going to be the loudest in the room—but she is sure going to be most attentive. That sweet, soft presence of her woo’d me in no time at all and I have no doubt she is going to do the same for you. Take a look at her video to fast-track the falling in love then come back to read more about this amazing girl. https://youtu.be/_pm2DZpp_aM Sophie is a 1-year-old (ish) mystery mix, like all rescue dogs., breed and birthday are details we cannot guarantee. She looks like a Border collie/Kelpie mix but her presence is that of a basset hound. What we do know is that she is a quietly devoted, deeply sweet dog. She is sort of like a shadow, close by, never underfoot. She’s not clingy just... present, I'll say from experience, she is the best company. Sophie is house-trained, crate-trained, and currently waiting for her adoption day in a loving foster home. Her foster shared that she is calm inside the house, respectful of space, and easy to live with. Outside, she can be a bit more reserved. She doesn’t enjoy loud environments or busy energy. She is polite passing and meeting new dogs but doesn’t have much interest beyond that. She isn’t reactive in these environments, she simply looks for her person and retreats a little. It is gentle and truthfully, not every dog wants to be out on the town and that is okay, we love a homebody! So, what is Sophies ideal home? Calm, quiet, and steady. Her foster works a very traditional 9-5 and she is thriving in the routine of weekdays and especially enjoys the weekend with walks and snuggle sessions. She would love to be a solo-dog but she can coexist with respectful dogs who won’t push her to play. From what we have seen she has potential to live with a cat. We consider her possibly cat-compatible only because when she met our spicy, very confident house cat, she was intimidated and uncomfortable. We are happy to introduce her to another cat if you are interested, simply we saw no red flags and her gentle nature and responsive nature leave us feeling positive about the possibility. Lastly, this girl isn’t your dog park type and she won’t need playgroups, love and a peaceful home are the keys to her happiness. People are where her heart is. Sophie may be a bit shy in her approach to new people but it only takes a minute to warm up, once she does, she your quiet companion. She won’t bark for attention or demand your lap, but she’ll be there—next to you while you work, waiting calmly while you cook, gently checking in with a look or a soft lean. She finds safety in connection. Sophie is the kind of dog who doesn’t just want to be loved—she wants to belong. If you’re kind, value a peaceful, simple life and you’re looking for a companion to walk through life with, you are in the right place for a dream connection. Sophie is ready and waiting! Questions?

We travel to WA, UT, OR, ID, VA, PA, OH, NY, CT, VT and Canada (Canadian adopters will need to pick up in Bellingham, WA  or Brattleboro, VT for the eastern Canadian border)! Our pups travel in comfort with 24/7 care on our USDA licensed vehicles, including buses and cargo vans. You can join along on our private Facebook event page to follow their adventure, connecting you with other adopters and providing updates throughout their transport journey!

Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress!  Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.  The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue.  While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!

Did you know that the Greater Houston area faces some of the highest stray and overpopulation rates in the nation? We are a non profit charity. Our goal is simple— to reduce the homeless pet population through community outreach, free spay and neuter services, and by rescuing animals from the streets or overcrowded shelters where euthanasia due to lack of space is often the only option. The dog you've found online is not only lucky to be in our program, but also incredibly fortunate to have caught your eye. Thank you for considering adoption and for joining us in our mission!
