My name is Kathy Blackman and I am the Founder and President of Sophie's Circle. One husky (Sophie photographed right) changed my life and that is why I started Sophie's Circle. Many dogs have since been rescued in her honor. Read her story below.
Learn MoreMax (formerly known as Zeak) was rescued by Jen from a shelter in Orlando. I'm pretty sure Max would not have made it out of there without Sophie's Circle. A black pitbull with one blind eye is not the "cute" family pet everyone is looking for...but, the volunteers at Sophie's Circle have a knack for finding and saving the sweet souls that deserve a second chance.
This group is amazing! I’m blessed to work with Jen at her paying job and I watch her work tirelessly as her phone never stops. These women stop at nothing to save as many as they possibly can and provide the best vet care for each one they take responsibility for. It is truely amazing to witness and be a small part of. Love them!!!
Love this rescue! Between myself, my mom and my best friend; we have rescued 3 dogs from Sophies (Balto the husky, Baylee the pekingese and Shelby the shih tzu and they are absolutely wonderful!! Baylee and Balto are the best of friends. Thank you for allowing us to rescue such wonderful fur babies!
We all know that dogs make loyal and faithful summer companions for those long shady hikes, early morning runs when no one else in the household is awake, or movie nights when you need a friend to share an oversized popcorn. But, adopting a furry friend over the dog days of summer can also improve your life in many other ways.
Depending on the dog, grooming fees can add up fast. But, a low grooming budget doesn’t have to limit your ability to adopt the dog of your choice. If the dog you would like to bring home has higher than average grooming requirements, here are some helpful DIY tips to keep him or her healthy and looking picture ready in between groomer visits.
Emotional support animals( (ESAs) allow sufferers of PTSD and anxiety disorders to socialize and go about their daily lives. They provide you with a measure of calm and confidence you may otherwise not enjoy. Fortunately, more and more places are starting to allow entry to emotional support animals, and some of them may be unknown to you.
One of the biggest challenges of being a pet owner is what to do with the dog while away from home. For those who have to head to the office for several hours, leaving the dog alone to decide how to pass the hours until his or her best friend in the whole world returns home could quickly escalate into a major problem. Fortunately, there are multiple solutions that can help dogs stay healthy, mentally stimulated, and happy until the end of the workday, which is great news for furniture and shoes everywhere!
