Sophie is Adopted

 Tweet 

Snickers and I are halfway home from having delivered Sophie to her new home in southern Florida. Yes, I drove ALL THAT WAY to take her personally instead of putting her on a rescue transport. She has a tendency to be anxious and need reassurance about new situations; a transport would have been too stressful for her. Plus, I just love to see my fosters in their new homes. 🙂

Sophie has a new “mom & dad,” two teenage human sisters and a Shiba brother, Remi. So far, all reports are that Sophie and Remi are doing well and have enjoyed several long walks and some indoor Shiba 500s together. Here are a few pictures from her first day at home. I took the one of Donna and Sophie before I left. You can see both Remi and Snickers wandering around as well. Donna took the other two of Remi and Sophie later in the day after they’d been playing together.

PS Thank you Donna for being such a gracious hostess and feeding me lunch after my long trip. 🙂

    I’m so touched that you drove her yourself. My shiba has some serious anxiety issue and we can’t even let him go to a day care that provides a daily pickup service because the short ride in an unknown car would be too stressful for him. Your recognizing her tendencies and deciding to drive yourself is so awesome and was much appreciated, I’m sure!

    Believe it or not, I actually miss that crazy dog. She’s a sweety though. I’m so glad she has such a great home. 🙂
