Sophia von Salzburg is a lovely plush coated 3 year old German Shepherd. She is so gentle and calm; it is hard to fathom that a dog like this isn’t curled up on her fancy dog bed in her adoring family home, or maybe sprawled out at Starbucks while her owner enjoys a cup of coffee and the morning paper. Sophia walks like a perfect lady on her leash. She met one of the volunteer’s dogs and they hung out for the afternoon as if they had lived together for years. Nothing seems to bother Sophia, we imagine she would be a great therapy dog; she just has that kind of soothing presence. With all the barking dogs around her in the boarding place, she is quiet and mellow, just watching whatever is happening at the moment. We all fell in love with her!
