Weight/size: 30 pounds

Housebroken:  YES

Crate trained:  YES

Sophie grew up in a backyard breeding operation and was surrendered to Animal Control.  She is definitely mixed with something other than shar-pei, but she still has a lot of the true pei attitude and look.  She’s a quiet little girl and a very non-demanding personality.  She is not an over-the-top snuggly, cuddly pup, but you definitely know when she likes you.

Sophie has entropion, a condition prevalent in shar-peis, which means her eyelids are too long and curl inward into her eyes and the eye lashes have abraded the cornea of her right eye.  When she came into rescue we had surgery done on her eyes to alleviate the condition, and we’re hoping there may be some clearing of the cornea.  She was so good after surgery not bothering her sutures.  She does show some of her natural prey drive around the cats.  She hasn’t tried to hurt them, but she would LOVE to chase them! She is a very, very sweet girl and she’s pretty easy to live with.
