Sophie is estimated to be 7 years old. She currently weighs 111 lbs, but recently started thyroid medicine and her new diet is working.

She loves the outdoors… lying in the yard just chillin’, catching some rays, or swimming in the pool, sitting on its steps to stay cool.

For other exercise, Sophie likes to amble around the neighborhood when no one is around, hoping she will encounter a rabbit she can try to chase it. Her leash skills are improving.

We don’t know anything about Sophie's past. We suppose some experience led to her unfriendly interactions with other dogs. Sophie is working with a trainer to learn better interactions with other dogs, but at this time we will not place Sophie in a home with other dogs. She prefers not to be around cats. And a home with a fence would be best,

Sophie loves her toys, rides in the car, and is learning to play fetch. She has perfect house manners.

All GRRSWF dogs have undergone a full examination by a veterinarian, and any health concerns have been addressed. If you are interested in learning more about Charity, please contact us at applications@grrswf.org, or you can read about our adoption process in detail and download an application from our website at http://www.grrswf.org/index-2.html        

PLEASE NOTE: We serve Southwest Florida from Naples to Ocala.

If you live OUTSIDE of our service area and are interested in adopting one of our dogs, please note that we will only consider an application for senior dogs (over the age of 8) or dogs with special needs (usually medication).  BEFORE submitting your application, send an email to info@GRRSWF.org to request an exception to our service area. If that approval is given, you will be asked to complete an application, clearly stating on it that you are interested in a special needs or senior dog.  However, please be aware that, unfortunately, there are some locations we simply cannot cover because we do not have sufficient representation in those areas to perform the required home visits prior to the adoption, or follow-up visits afterward. If that is the case, we will be happy to refer you to a local rescue or shelter.
