About dogs named Sosa

The following are 9 profiles of dogs named Sosa from our database of 35 dogs with the name Sosa.

• “Sosa is pitty/bullie mix but hound dog at heart. Sosa’s favorite things to do are investigate every square inch of every space he walks into by smelling, peeing and rolling all over. He is very good listener and in training for more commands regularly. Sosa is BIG 5 years old As of 2026. He is bestest of friends to his mama (my daughter) and my bestie (Grandma) after taking over while mama is in nursing school. He is loyal, kind, gentle, can be protective, and in these years has some separation anxieties and baddddd allergies. Sosa is in tact as of right now but will be neutered soon, and we hope to be able to mingle him with other dogs more after that. But sos is never the aggressor. Other doggos i think get intimidated by him, so there’s a lot of barking around other dogs. So we stick to private play for now but would love to change that and so would he!!“
