Sonny (aka Lonesome) is a gorgeous 4-year old male Mountain Cur/Shepherd mix who was surrendered by his owner on October 31, 2023.
Lonesome has a dark brown/brindle coat, a short half tail, and a beautiful face with expressive brown eyes, a slender muzzle, and short semi-erect ears.
This handsome boy appeared to have a sweet, affectionate personality when HSOV Kennel Tech Aubrey Hall helped him with his Petfinder/Facebook photos shortly after his arrival. Lonesome was understandably a bit bewildered about his new surroundings and being among folks that he didn't know, but he made the most of a sad situation and enjoyed extra TLC from Aubrey.
The information we've learned about Lonesome after his pictures/story were initially posted is that he really does respond to the name 'Lonesome'. He knows commands when they are are spoken in German.
Lonesome can be situationally aggressive when meeting new people. He has some separation anxiety issues and cannot be left alone, so he would need some training in those areas.
Lonesome is good with other dogs, but he is NOT good with cats.
Sonny/Lonesome is a big boy who weighs 73 lbs. He has already been neutered.
Lonesome will be looking for an appropriate home with an experienced adopter.
UPDATE: Lonesome went home with a foster family on May 26, 2024. He is still available for adoption, and we are accepting HSOV adoption applications for Sonny/Lonesome. We will be happy to make arrangements with his foster family to meet this sweet dog if you believe Lonesome might be the perfect companion in your home.
