A Life of Suffering
In mid-February, Sophie was found in a dump in Tijuana, Mexico. She was in a terrible state, lying on a tattered blanket surrounded by trash. Her body was covered in scars, and her ears were bleeding. It was clear that Sophie had endured unimaginable pain.

Sophie had been used by a breeder who forced her to have litter after litter. This cruel practice left her body scarred and her teeth ground down to the roots. She was also used as a bait dog, which meant she had been part of dogfighting. The vet’s examination revealed the extent of her abuse. Sophie’s wounds and broken spirit spoke volumes about her past.

A New Beginning
Luckily, Sophie’s story took a turn for the better when she was found by Nikki Audet. With loving care, Sophie began her journey to recovery. Therapeutic baths, antibiotics, and lots of love helped heal her physical wounds. Despite her painful past, Sophie has a heart full of love and is incredibly affectionate towards people. She loves to snuggle and seeks comfort from anyone willing to give it.

However, Sophie’s past has made her fearful of other dogs. When she encounters another dog, she hides or clings to a person’s leg. To help her overcome this fear, Sophie has started attending dog training classes with a dog psychologist. The goal is to help her feel comfortable around other dogs without adding stress to her recovery.
