Sophie had a rough start to life as a breeder dog, and then a second owner passed away.  These experiences had an impact, and as a result Sophie comes with some challenges.  While Sophie is amazing with people, she must be the ONLY dog in the home.  She has significantly improved in her socialization training with other dogs since coming into the rescue, and is highly trainable.  Any introduction to a new dog needs to be well controlled by an experienced adult, and Sophie should be muzzled for safety.  She currently lives with another Rottie with her foster, but this has been months in the making.  Sophie also has a strong chase instinct for wild rabbits, squirrels and other wildlife, but is responsive to verbal commands. 

Sophie would do great in an environment where her owner works from home, can take her to work with them or is retired. If you are looking for a super loyal sweetheart, and can have Sophie as your only dog (she really is enough dog all by herself!), then consider being the forever home for this amazing dog.
