Adopt Sophie a Black - with Tan, Yellow or Fawn German Shepherd Dog / Mixed dog

Location:

Mount Airy, MD

Description:

DESCRIPTION: Stunning Sophie is a victim of cruelty and neglect. Fortunately, word got out about her situation and animal control confiscated her from her owners. Arriving at a shelter with a large wound on her back, hair missing in spots, limited fat and muscle on her body, and an overall poor body condition, shelter staff knew this girl needed a lot of support. They got right to work making sure she had what she needed and were impressed by how sweet and even tempered she appeared. Although staff members were doing everything they could to help Sophie heal, with an overwhelming number of dogs arriving at the shelter on a daily basis they knew she was living on borrowed time. As the days passed and no one stepped forward to welcome Sophie into their home, staff began to worry that Sophie wouldn't make it out alive. A plea for help went out. When we learned about Sophie's story, team MAGSR knew this lovely girl deserved the opportunity to find her forever family. Sophie is intelligent, energetic, and ready to move forward. She craves leadership and direction. As is true of all young shepherds, Sophie will thrive when provided with structure and routine. Excited to learn, Sophie is already picking up some basic commands and is definitely motivated by treats. Due to her past, we do not know if Sophie understands the ins and outs of living in a household. However, we know she is beyond ready to enjoy the comforts and routines of a loving home. As she moves forward, Sophie will benefit from training. Not only will training help Sophie bond with her forever family, but it will also help her develop into a good canine citizen. Unfortunately, we have learned that Sophie is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have easily been avoided with a monthly heartworm preventative. Sophie's treatment has just begun and, unsurprisingly, she is handling everything well. Although heartworm treatment is very expensive, we know that this special girl is more than worth the cost. MAGSR will cover the entirety of Sophie's heartworm treatment. Please consider donating to Sophie's care as it will not only help us provide the funding needed to support Sophie, but it will also help us continue to welcome dogs with medical needs. Sophie will need to take it slow over the next few months while she heals. However, this will give her time to adjust to her forever home. If this stunning girl sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet her today! September 8, 2023, 12:08 am
