ONLY APPLICANTS WHO HAVE LONG-TERM EXPERIENCE WITH A POSSESSIVE / DOMINANT DOG WILL BE CONSIDERED TO ADOPT.

Frida Sophia is a sweet and beautiful dog, who has some personality quirks. Though she looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly, she is extremely protective over objects that are given to her or that she decides are hers. She needs an owner who is experienced with dominant/possessive dog behaviors. Frida Sophia has, sadly, been returned to us twice because both adopters did not heed our extremely, specific instructions to not give her toys or beds. She needs a strict household where her owners will follow these rules and understand that not giving her toys and beds is not a punishment, but rather, this helps maintain a happy and positive life for Frida. Reminding her that she is NOT the boss of your household, but that you are THE boss, is something that her new owners will need to be consistent with throughout her life.

Frida Sophia needs a low-traffic household (one to two people) with very few or no visitors and no children or visiting children. She has been known to become protective over her people or persons, so the best home for her is one where she can feel safe and not feel the need to protect her person. Frida Sophia enjoys going on walks over going into a fenced-in yard to go to the bathroom. If you would like to meet her, please fill out an application on our website.
