Background –

Sookie joined us in March 2025 as part of a mother-daughter pair. After a year of trying to find a home together, we have decided to try to find them separate homes. Due to being a pair for so long, their new homes will need to be a little special, so please read this profile carefully.

Character –

Sookie is incredibly sweet; she clearly feels a lot of emotion and seeks to please. Her eagerness to please makes her very receptive to training. She craves attention and cuddles and isn’t shy to show you when it’s time for strokes. When she’s ready and really happy, Sookie loves nothing more than grabbing a toy and initiating play time.

Type of home –

Sookie is looking for a pet-free, adult-only home with a family committed to her ongoing training. She is dog reactive, but she has been working on this with our trusted behaviourists, and we think she will thrive with ongoing training. We’ve seen a lot of potential to become more sociable in Sookie, and she’s really hoping to find a home that will help her tap into it.

Once she has welcomed you into her circle, Sookie is incredibly people-oriented and fiercely loyal. Because she is used to having her mother, Piper, by her side, Sookie ideally needs a home where someone is around most of the time. Particularly, during her settling-in period.

Sookie has a prey drive and cannot share her home with cats, birds or other small animals. Despite being a Chihuahua, she is very “springy” and requires a secure garden with 6ft fencing!

Health –

Sookie is generally in good health. She has a sensitive stomach managed with a consistent diet of single protein.

Adopting –

Sookie is in foster care in Weston-super-Mare, and potential adopters will need to meet her here.

Our catchment area for rehoming is Somerset and the local surrounding areas (such as Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wiltshire). For Sookie, we are ideally looking for a home within a commutable distance from her behaviourists in Brent Knoll so she can continue her progress, and this will be discussed further with successful applicants.
