Pet of the Week: Sophie's 'Sweetest'

The East Providence Animal Control Center has a variety of pets available for adoption.

Sophie is a white and grey female Shih-Tzu available for adoption at East Providence Animal Control Center.

Sophie was found abandoned in a carrier in East Providence. Since coming to animal control, Sophie has been spayed and vaccinated.

She had severely matted fur, which the veterinarian has shaved off, and she is now being medicated for a skin condition because of the neglect Sophie has been through. She is approximately 1-2 years old.

Sophie is the sweetest little thing although she may be a little nervous and shy at first. With all of the TLC she's received, Sophie is now showing the EP staff her appreciation & her loving side, and always greets us with kisses and love.

This poor little pup has been through quite a lot, but despite it all she is still an amazing companion.
