My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello, my name is: Sophie
DOB: 6/10/2024
Sex/Breed: Spayed female Great Pyrenees/Retriever mix
Weight: 80 lbs
Traits: Loyal, playful, happy
Rescued From: Surrender

Sophie is a gentle giant with a lot of love to give. She was surrendered to a vet office after being hit by a car and sustaining a broken front leg, but after two months of splints and crate rest, she’s now healed and ready to start her next chapter. Though she’s still learning some basic manners after her time spent healing, Sophie is a quick learner and is already proving to be excellent in her crate.
Sophie is a playful and happy pup who loves to interact with other dogs and has a sweet, submissive temperament. Her bouncy play style can sometimes include jumping, so she might be a little intimidating to those unaccustomed to larger dogs, but she is never aggressive. Sophie does have some hesitancy around cars—likely due to her past injury—but with time and positive associations, we believe she will become more comfortable with travel. While she may initially resist getting into a car, once inside, she enjoys the ride and settles down nicely.
Though Sophie is cautious around new people, especially those she meets in unfamiliar environments, she warms up quickly once introduced properly and shows her friendly, affectionate nature. With her majestic looks, gentle soul, and sweet disposition, Sophie is sure to make a loyal and loving companion to a family experienced with larger breeds. As she matures, we expect Sophie to be around 100 pounds of pure love. If you`re looking for a calm, kind, and playful giant, Sophie just might be the one for you! She’d love to accompany you on all of life’s adventures – especially if they include splashing in water.

All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We do our best to keep the adoption process straight-forward and simple in an effort to get our available pets into a permanent, stable and loving home in a timely manner. You will be asked to fill out an adoption application giving All 4 Paws Rescue information about yourself, your family and your experience with pets. We will ask for your vet (if you have/had a pet) and landlord/property manager information (if applicable), along with 3 personal references. Be sure to include what you are looking for in your new pet as it helps us with the matchmaking process! It generally takes our team about 3-5 days to complete an application. This timing may vary based on how quickly and easily your references are reached and how many applications are pending at that time. Please give all of your references a heads up to help us speed things along. Our goal is to find our animals the best possible home and if multiple applications are received, All 4 Paws Rescue will make the decision as to which home would be best for that particular pet.

When an adoption does not work out, it is an unpleasant experience for the pet and the adoptive family and can make placing the returned animal more difficult in the future. For this reason, we reserve the right to refuse any adoption that we feel is not in the best interest of the animal and/or the adoptive family. A refusal is not a judgement of the applicant, but instead represents our assessment that a particular pet might not do well in the environment offered based on our years of experience arranging successful adoptions. It is our goal to make the best possible placement for every animal and adopter.

PLEASE NOTE :

**We DO require that ALL dogs and cats in your household are spayed or neutered, kept up-to-date on vaccines and that they are seen annually for a check-up.

**We do NOT require a fenced in yard unless otherwise noted for a specific pet.

**We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed before or after adopting.

**We do NOT have restrictions regarding children in an adoptive household unless otherwise noted for a specific pet.

**We do NOT SHIP animals. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets and live outside of our area, you will be required to come meet and adopt the animal in person if your application is approved.

**We do NOT hold animals.

**We do NOT adopt to anyone under 21 years old.

**ALL APPLICANTS MUST GO THROUGH OUR ENTIRE ADOPTION APPLICATION PROCESS - WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE.

DOG ADOPTION FEES

Our adoption fee for dogs is $450+tax - that includes a wellness exam, all age appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter surgery, heartworm testing when age appropriate, heartworm treatment if necessary, worming, microchip and registration, flea/tick treatment. PLEASE NOTE - we do offer discounted adoption fees to families adopting more than one dog, senior dogs and dogs with special needs when possible.

Regarding our adoption fee: We are often asked, "Why do you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a "good home"?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support ALL of our rescued animals, not just the one they are adopting. A young, healthy dog might cost us $250-$400 in (discounted) vet care to prepare it for adoption, and many people will want to adopt that dog. An older dog or a special needs dog or a dog with health issues can easily cost us $500-$2,000 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care to prepare such a dog for adoption. Yet for a senior dog or a special needs dog, we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others who need us. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you are willing to help us offer a better life to ALL of our animals by supporting them through our adoption fees. Without these adoption fees, we would not be able to save the lives that we save.

Cat Adoption Fees

Our adoption fees for cats and kittens is $150+tax cat/kitten. Our cats/kittens have received all age appropriate vaccines; spay/neuter surgery, FIV/FELV testing, worming, microchip and registration, and flea/tick treatment.

Adoption application

We do NOT have a physical shelter or kennel that you can visit. Since all of our pets live in foster homes, they can be seen by appointment only. The first step in our adoption process is to submit an application. Appointments are only made with approved adopters. If you have any questions, please email info@all4pawsrescue.com

We also frequently hold "Meet and Greet" Events.. Please check the "Events" page of our website for details.
