Sophie’s Circle is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of animals and the people who love them. We believe that every homeless or abandoned pet deserves a chance to be cherished, and we work tirelessly to create miracles for those waiting for their second act.
Our journey began with one special husky named Sophie. After our founder, Kathy Blackman, rescued her from a difficult situation in 2009, she realized that many other wonderful, loyal dogs were being left behind every day. This realization sparked a mission to ensure that every life matters and to provide a bridge to a better future for animals in need.
Unlike traditional shelters, Sophie’s Circle does not have a physical facility. Instead, we rely on a compassionate network of private foster homes to provide a safe, loving, and temporary environment for our dogs. This unique approach allows us to get to know each pet’s personality intimately while supporting them with food, training, and veterinary care until they find their perfect forever family.
We are dedicated to helping you find the purr-fect furry companion to join your life. Because all of our dogs reside in private homes, we prioritize a thoughtful matching process to ensure a happy, life-long bond. By completing our adoption application, you begin a rewarding journey that changes a dog's world while enriching your own.
Are you ready to meet your new companion? We invite you to browse our current list of available pets or reach out to us with any questions about our process. Whether you adopt, foster, or support our pet food pantry, you are helping us ensure every pet gets a full belly and a happy heart.
