Success Stories

Sophie was rescued from an overcrowded city shelter in Los Angeles. She had never been properly socialized and she was fearful of new people and new situations. Her fear was manifested by barking, lunging, growling and snapping at strangers. Therefore, Sophie did not present well in the shelter environment and she was in imminent danger of euthanasia. She was rescued and flown to British Columbia in search of her forever home.

Sophie was adopted by a semi-retired couple in Parksville who are committed to working with her and continuing her training and socialization.

***An update from Sophie’s family:

"We are delighted with our little Sophie; she is coming along quite nicely after one month. She can sit, stay, heel and is learning to shake a paw and lie down. Her aggression is gradually diminishing, as we often go on outings, where growling and attacking are not ever allowed. She is a wonderful traveler in the car, and loves her daily walks, where she is meeting other dogs regularly.

Sophie spends much of her day on a lap, or in her little dog bed. She is cuddly, gives kisses, and greets us regularly like heroes returned from the war. We would not part with her for anything, and hope she feels the same way about us."
