My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I'm Sunny! My name is fitting since I am sure to bring lots of sunshine to your life. I am a 2 year old, 48 lb, lab mix. I was left at a high kill shelter in southern Indiana by my previous owner who claimed I was a stray, but they discovered he adopted me as a puppy and had me for my whole life. I can't understand why he lied and left me, as I am the most docile girl. I love older kids, people, cuddles, walks, parks, car rides, stores, and all the adventures I've been on in my foster home!

My foster mom has been training me to stay on the floor and off the furniture, and I learned to follow the expectations after only 3 days. I respond beautifully to R+ training and am easily redirectable. I am motivated by attention and treats, which make training a breeze. I am eager to please and do what is expected of me. I have learned to respect my order in the pack, and my foster mom says I will make the best family dog.

I let my foster mom touch/rub all over my face, pull treats/chews out of my mouth, pick me up, hold me, put me on my back, touch my legs, paws, tail etc. with no reaction other than my big smile. Fun fact-I think I might be a human baby in a furry, four-legged body. I am a submissive girl who is quick to lay on my back and welcome all the belly rubs I can get. I also like when my foster mom holds me like a baby and tells me how good of a girl I am. I haven’t shown much interest in toys yet. I’ve picked up a few stuffed toys andI do not rip or destroy them. I seem to like them as comfort items as I don’t react to squeakers. I have a few stuffies in my crate and I like to lay on them like pillows. This is a great quality of mine, especially if I were to have human siblings of my own. My foster mom thinks I could be happy with another four-legged sibling, but I have been bounced around so much recently that being the only dog would give me my best chance at success. I love my crate. It is my safe place to relax, sleep, enjoy my chews, and eat. I wiggle my butt all the way in and am content as can be!

Outside of the crate, I love to be near my foster mom. I will follow my foster mom around the house and sit at her feet. I love to go outside and am learning how to ring the bells at the door to tell my foster mom to let me out. I am phenomenal on the leash-the best my foster mom has ever had! I walk at my foster mom’s knees and at her pace, have not pulled at all, no matter where we are or the commotion around us. I also love car rides-whether it’s just for a ride around the neighborhood, to a park, a pet store or any store that allows dogs (they love me at Lush Naperville!), out for a pup cup or doggy cone, or any other adventure my foster mom takes me on! I sit so nicely in the car and am calm everywhere I go.

I am also a very quiet girl. My foster mom has only heard me bark a few times, even when my furry foster sister barks at the delivery people. I don’t get spooked or disturbed by anything-trees getting cut down, lawn getting mowed, loud noises, vacuum, etc.
