Meet Sophia

MEET SOPHIA!Sophia is a velcro dog eager to find a loving home. Her idea of heaven is to snuggle as close as possible to her human, preferably in a lap. She spent some time in foster pending her clearance for adoption, and her foster reported: `Everyone who met Sophia was charmed and delighted. She will be adevoted and entertaining companion to anyone lucky enough to adopt her.` She has proven to do well living with another dog who is tolerant and respectful of boundaries, but she would also do just fine as your one and only. Sophia is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY however, we are unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements. For more information on this or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.
