Rescue Me: Sophia, A Sweet Senior Dog, Has Lots Of Love To Give

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Sophia is a senior dog who is now up for adoption at the Fredericksburg SPCA. Sophia is about seven years old, and she is currently receiving a life-saving heartworm treatment at the Locke Community Medical Center.

When Sophia was originally brought to the Fredericksburg SPCA, volunteers were told that she was pregnant and needed a safe place to have her puppies. It turned out that Sophia wasn't pregnant, but she was in desperate need of heartworm treatment.

Although she is still undergoing her heartworm treatment, Sophia still finds time to spread love with the SPCA's volunteers. "She has become a staff favorite for visits and snuggles," the SPCA said. "No one can resist her sweet eyes!"

In her spare time, Sophia is a curious girl who enjoys sniffing and snorting around the world on her walks. While Sophia finishes her heartworm treatment, she is eligible through the SPCA's foster-to-adopt program.

Anyone who would like to meet Sophia can email the SPCA at Matchmakers@fredspca.org. More information about Sophia and other adoptable dogs is available on the SPCA's website.
