Hi, this is me (Sophie) Sofia-Bella.  I am on the right, and my brother, Charlie is next to me.  We are both rescues, and my Momma says we are the best pals.  Charlie is 12 and I am 5; my birthday is in December.  Hooray!  A party for me with special gifts.  When I came to live with Momma and Charlie, I was a little bit shy, but not anymore.  We go for long walks and my white paws get very dirty.  Guess what?  I run and hide in the crate because Momma will wipe them off.  Doesn't she know I am just a dog, and we like to roll in the grass and get dirty?  She says the sofa and car are really for Charlie and me - our sofa covered with a sheet, and a dog bed in the front seat of the car and two crates in the back seat. Thank you to Laura and everyone at PUP for finding me a forever home.  Love, Sofia-Bella

In December, 2008 we received this update and new holiday picture...

Charlie, Sofia-Bella and their Momma, Deborah wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  It seems like Sofia has been with us forever, and she is such a playful pup.  Her eyes are beautiful, and so expressive although she is a bit camera shy.  Her sixth birthday is on the 23rd of December, so we plan to celebrate her special day.  I cannot begin to tell you how much she is loved, and so grateful she chose to join our little family.
