Story
Sophie is a 14-month-old saluki mix, her whole world as she knew it changed when she came here from Kuwait. Everything comfortable and familiar to her disappeared, needless to say everything terrified her. Sophie struggled just to have the courage to walk through the neighbourhood. All of the new sounds and people were a lot to take in at once. She was fearful of the kids playing basketball, people on bikes and especially passing cars. All she wanted to do was run and hide She’s great with dogs and cats, She would benefit from having a confident dog in the house to guide her. Sophie is looking for an adult only home, with an experienced dog savvy adopter to help her continue to build confidence. Sophie is being fostered in Toronto where she is slowly being exposed to new things. She is even going to doggy day care every day. We are so proud of her progress. She is doing well on leash, once she’s comfortable walks right beside you. She Knows to sit and wait For your ok command before crossing the street. Sophie has completed her six week course of obedience training and knows basic commands. Her biggest hurdle to still overcome is her fear of strangers. She has issues with strangers coming in her house. She will bark and growl, even more so if she does not have a confident, fearless leader. ( no bite history) She will also do this with her new adopter until she gets to know you. This is why it is imperative that her adopter be fearless of dogs and confident. For this reason Sophie must go to an adult only home. Once Sophie is comfortable she is an absolute love bug.
