Sunny

******Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time************ We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Meet Sunny! Sunny is a handsome 9-year-old, 70lb neutered pittie mix who's currently being fostered in Houston, TX and can be transported to an approved adopter wherever his perfect family may be! True to his name, Sunny brings joy everywhere he goes. He's a playful, goofy boy with a huge heart and an infectious enthusiasm for life. Whether he's giving kisses, showing off his tricks, or playing with his favorite toys, Sunny is happiest when he's spending time with his people. Sunny has been living with a professional trainer and has an excellent foundation in obedience. He knows commands like sit, down, stay, place, and several fun movement tricks. He's fully house-trained, crate trained, and settles nicely in his kennel at night for 6-8 hours at a time. Because he's so food motivated, he's eager to learn and enjoys continuing his training. Sunny has a moderate energy level and would love a home that enjoys daily walks, playtime, and including him in family activities. He walks well on a loose leash, although he can become excited when he sees other dogs and may pull or lunge in his eagerness to say hello. With calm guidance and redirection, he quickly refocuses. When it comes to other dogs, Sunny is playful and energetic. He enjoys rough-and-tumble play with medium and large dogs, but because he plays enthusiastically and doesn't always recognize when another dog is ready for a break; he'll need slow, proper introductions and continued guidance. He doesn't love every dog he meets, so finding the right canine companion is important. While he'd do well with a balanced, tolerant dog, he'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. Sunny loves meeting new people and greets them with excitement—and sometimes a little too much enthusiasm! He can get mouthy when he's excited, so he'd do best with older, dog-savvy children (10+) who can help reinforce good manners and respect his boundaries. Sunny's ideal home is an active family or couple who will continue his training, provide structure, and shower him with the love and affection he thrives on. In return, you'll get a loyal, silly, affectionate companion who will happily cover you in kisses and keep you smiling every day. If you're looking for a fun-loving best friend with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Sunny is ready to brighten your life. Could he be the perfect addition to your family? ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown.
