Sophia

Sophia is a 4-year-old Chihuahua who weighs about 3 pounds.

She likes other dogs. Sophia will greet you with a big tail wag and will eagerly go for a walk with you, but she is so tiny that she would easily fit in a cute purse so you could take her everywhere.

Sophia will be spayed on Tuesday, and is microchipped, tested for heart worm, and vaccinated. She is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go to the Tahoe animal shelter’s Facebook page to see photos and descriptions of all pets at the shelter. 

Call 530.573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
