Sophie deserves better!
Little Miss Sophie is an awesome dog! Unfortunately she is going through a lot of transition with us right now as we navigate through a housing crisis. Sophie deserves the world and I simply cannot provide that to her right now and continue to provide for my human son. This is heartbreaking for the two of us to decide on. But we know that she will live a happier life with an active and stable family.
