Meet Sunshine, a young, energetic furball who`s eager to play and explore. His curious nature means he`s always up for an adventure, whether it`s a new toy or a hidden corner of the yard. He likes car rides, running, tugging, toys, and chase. He weighs 30 pounds and is still perfecting his leash walking skills but he is already house trained. One of his favorite things to do on a leash is jump like a kangaroo. He is super springy! Sunshine is smart and independent, able to entertain himself yet always ready for a cuddle session. He knows the sit, stay, come, and down commands. Despite his independence, he`s incredibly friendly and affectionate, always ready to give and receive love. He`s a bit afraid of baths and grooming, but with a gentle touch and lots of patience, he can overcome anything. His excitable nature means he`s always ready for fun, and his love for belly rubs and treats is unparalleled. He`s friendly and playful but a bit rough and jumpy around children, but with some training and patience, he can learn to adjust. Until he learned to reign in his tendency to nip a bit during playtime, he`ll need to live with kids at least 15 years old. Sunshine has a penchant for chewing and digging, and he tends to bark at other dogs. He hasn`t had much interaction with them yet. Adopt Sunshine, and you`ll have a loyal, loving, and playful companion who will brighten up your life with his cheerful and affectionate personality. (tw 12/18/2024)
