Sophie came into the city shelter with wounds all over her face and head and missing part of her lower jaw. She was also missing some upper teeth. While we can never know exactly what happened to Sophie, we will always be fortunate for the Good Samaritan who found her and brought her to BARCS. Sophie made two things perfectly clear: she was in severe pain and she was very loving and affectionate. Sophie left the shelter immediately to receive medical care and then to a medical foster home so she could recover quietly. Sophies medical needs continued to be great, and was ready to start her rehabilitation. Taras House offered to rescue Sophie as her medical needs were exceeding funds that the Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter had available. Taras House knew that they needed help, as Sophies medical needs were greater than any dogs theyd ever seen. Taras House asked Baltimore Bully Crew to co-rescue Sophie. No one knows how Sophie got her injuries, but Baltimore Bully Crew has seen some of the worst animal abuse cases and knows how to handle each dog on a case by case basis competently and calmly. Sophie seemed to physically get worse before she got better. She had a bladder infection that may have resulted from being spayed improperly. She was carrying a decaying tail resulting in a recent amputation. Despite the medical horrors and frequent trips to the vet, Sophie fell in love with her foster family. The feeling was mutual. Sophie bonded with the three resident dogs and followed her 2 legged foster sisters everywhere. After weeks of rehabilitation, acclimation and confidence building, Baltimore Bully Crew and Taras House would like to announce that Sophie is healthy and ready for adoption! She is a 3 year old, 35 pound love bug who knows all of her basic commands and is move in ready. Her facial scars and repairs do not affect her in any way. She eats, kisses and nuzzles like a dog with both an upper and lower jaw. Sophie’s foster mom has said of Sophie: “I personally just wanted to tell you what an amazing, joyful, sweet, loving, smart and awesome little girl she is. We are SMITTEN with this girl.” Please contact Baltimore Bully Crew (baltimorebullycrew/) or Tara’s House (tarashouse.net) to fill out an application.
