My birthday is August 13, 2009. I love having children cuddle up with me and read to me.  When I am not at the library, I enjoy hanging out with my sister Bella (Poodle) and brother Jackson (Shih Tzu).  We have so much fun together!
Hugs and Licks,
Sophie

I joined PAWS in March 2013 and I'm so excited for you to read to me!! I love kids and adults and LOVE giving and receiving affection! I like to lay down and have my belly scratched most of all. When you scratch my belly, I like to put my paw on YOU so I'm touching you too!
 
Here are a couple fun things you might like to know about me: I love treats, like most dogs, but what's a little different about me is that I love to eat fruits and vegetables! I think they're as good as my dog treats. I have a blanket that I like to hold in my mouth, sort of like a pacifier, when I nap during the day. I love to fetch tennis balls and I can carry two at a time in my mouth and usually do!
 
I can't wait to see you when you come to the library and read to me!
