My name is
Sofie NJ!

Meet Sofie, a 10-year-old chubby Chihuahua gal who was surrendered when her owner became ill. She is friendly, enjoys being petted, and will seek attention. If the weather is nice, she loves to be outside hanging out on the deck. Otherwise, she is a couch potato. She LOVES being with people & will always nuzzle up to you on the couch or find her way onto your lap. Foster mom says that she can never sit on the couch without Sofie being beside her. Sofie now weighs 24 pounds after having lost 8 pounds since being rescued - she looks great! She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines.

Sofie loves people and enjoys visitors to the house. She is good with the young family members (ages 2, 3, & 5 years of age) who visit frequently. Sofie loves her toys and is good at keeping herself busy. Sofie has been around other dogs and cats in the past and currently lives with two other dogs and a cat with no issues. She is very easy-going and enjoys hanging out with the group.

Sofie is also good on leash, easy to handle and would make a great addition to any home. She's housetrained and good in a crate, too! She knows some basic commands like Sit, Come, Stay, Down & Shake. We feel that she would make a good pet for just about any home. 

If you feel like you would like to bring Sofie into your home, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name, SOFIE NJ. The adoption fee for Sofie is $250.
