Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Who is going to be the lucky person to bring this dog into their life?
Sofia is a doll! She's about a year old and was rescued from the Riverside County, CA shelter just in time. She is now in foster care in Santa Barbara, CA.
Sofia is everything that a cattle dog should be. She's smart, energetic and athletic. She's also capable of being chill and hanging out as long as she gets decent exercise. And she wants nothing more than to please her shepherd. I've rarely had a foster dog who showed such a quick submissive response to correction. That plus a quick mind will make her so easy to train to be whatever you want!
Sofia is great with all other dogs she has met, and she has met a lot. She plays well with a larger age-mate. She's got high enough prey drive that cats are likely not a good match for her. She was also very nervous around a toddler, so she's a no for a home with small children. But she's friendly with older kids.
Sofia is housebroken, loves leash walks, and is great on car rides. She's going to be a fantastic companion to anyone who wants an active dog who also wants to cuddle!

We generally start with an interview to check for compatibility and give the potential adopter information about the dog

Meet the Pet
If step 1 goes well, we arrange a meeting
3.
Submit Application
This step may come earlier, if it makes sense to do this prior to a meeting
Additional adoption info
Our dogs often go into foster to adopt, to give potential adopters a chance to see if it is a good match.
