Sophia

Sophia is an adoptable female Labrador Retriever looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. She is a young adult and medium in size. She is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Sophia may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

Outside her kennel, she has shown a wiggly body, happy wagging tail, and playful enthusiasm, walking on a semi-loose leash.

Staff have sometimes been able to redirect her with treats. She's only 8 months old and still has so much to learn!
