Everything we know about pets in Sofia will be covered in full detail for you today. Hopefully this will be a one stop shop where you can get all of the info you need as quickly and easily as possible.
Even though we are trying to discuss it all we still can’t think of a better way to begin than by listing the best Sofia pet stores. They should be able to help you buy puppies, kittens, toys, food, or other supplies and are probably the main draw to this page.
Contents
After they are out of the way we will get into the top local animal shelters for those who would prefer to adopt a dog, cat, or other pet instead of buying a new one. Dog lovers in the area will really enjoy our next three sections which are about dog parks, puppy trainers, and dog bakeries near you.
Then it will be time for you to read about pet grooming salons and dog or cat cafes near you. Anyone who travels often will enjoy our next sections which discuss local hotels that allow pets and also boarding facilities.
Our last topics will be a little bit doom and gloom like veterinarians and pet cremation services. Stick around for our pet map at the end, and you can read more of our posts for local animal lovers in Europe at that link.

Animal Shelters & Adoption
These local animal shelters should have plenty of dogs and pets for adoption:

Both of the above are awesome animal shelters that do great work in the community. Animal Rescue has The Farm Shelter and even a ranch sanctuary for abandoned horses.
They also have their Franziska Clinic which can provide some veterinary services. Eco-Equilibrium can provide free spay or neuter procedures, and in 2020 the Eco-Equilibrium animal shelter helped over 1,300 adoptable dogs find a new foster home.
They both are two of the best contacts to have if you are in a situation involving a lost or found dog, cat, or other pet in the area.
