Sophie was turned in at El Paso Animal Control because her owners’ home was in foreclosure.
Sophie is approximately nine years old according to her chip record. Sophie has the classic golden retriever temperament, calm and sweet. She is very gentle with the Yorkies, even letting the little dogs take bones from her. She is good with children and cats.

She is housebroken and listens well off leash. We took her to the vet today for a checkup. She is very healthy, spayed, current on shots, and heartworm negative.

Here is a report from her foster dad:

She is sweet and lovable as most goldens are. She is very mild and mellow. She does like to go for walks and play in open fields. We have a school just down the street and I have taken her and one of the Yorkie’s there and let them off the leash. She did very well when called but would not fetch the toy unless I went for it and then she would go and get it. She walked all over the school grounds without trying to run away and when we left she was ahead of me and I stopped behind the shed and she came back looking for me. She knows how to walk on a leash and most of the time she does not pull but she doesn’t know what side to walk on. She keeps changing sides. I have also let her out in the front yard where there are no fences and she did not run off either. She does like to go into the kitchen trash and pull the trash out if there is food. She has taken a slice of pizza off the dining room table and started to eat it. When we said out she did let it go without growling or sniping. She does snore at night and will wake us up if she has to go out during the night. She has been left alone while during the day while we went shopping over the weekend. She likes soft toys.

what a sweetheart.

Karen is fostering her now in Albuquerque. Here is her report

I would add an enthusiastic response about Sophie. She stayed with me for
the first time last night and was just fine with my other 3. I have 2
females and a male and they got along just fine even at feeding time. I
give her the medication for the sniffles and she seems fine, just a few
sneezes after she ate this morning.

And she loves children….there must have been a little boy in Sophie’s
past because she took immediately to my 6 year grandson who stayed the
night with me yesterday. And she couldn’t wait until he got up.

Please let me know soon if you are interested as I have had a call form
someone else who wants to come and take a look at Sophie.

I will be in and out this weekend, but feel free to call me on my cell at
505-301-0792 if you want to come by.
