My story

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

This little girl is aptly named. She has a very sunny personality. She is lively, playful, and meant to love. She even has a tan heart-shaped spot on her back as proof and weighs only 10 pounds. She has done everything right in her short life, but she has not met the right humans who can provide her with a home that she can count on forever. Sunny would benefit from a home that has structure, predictability, stability, and consistency to help her feel secure. A securely fenced yard will make this girl very happy. She needs a young family, who can promise her a commitment.
Sunny currently lives in a home with other dogs, and has made some close friends with other fosters. A pairing with a more passive dog would be best. While not aggressive, Sunny is a leader and likely to control the playtime. She may even provide a correction or two. In a secure environment, Sunny is friendly, social, and enjoys LOTS of attention. In a more open environment, or one in which she feels vulnerable (like on walks), she barks at passing people and dogs. With gentle correction she is learning she doesn`t have to do that. Being a Chihuahua, Sunny is loyal and strong minded. She is silly. She will entertain you, and make you laugh. Give her a basket of toys and a backyard, and she can entertain herself. She can be impulsive, but she is very intelligent, and with training she learns things quickly.
Sunny would be happy in a home with adults or with a family with late teen or young adult children. She is learning to be comfortable being left alone, This is an important consideration if interested in adopting.
She is an active girl, and does need an outlet for her energy, but she is also very happy to sit in a lap to keep you company or spoon with you at night. No apartment life for Sunny. She is fully vetted and her adoption fee is only $320. and she weights about 8 pounds. To meet Sunny, please fill out the application at OFOSA.ORG. Thank you

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

View available pets on our website. Adopt-a-pet is not always accurate. Our website is accurate up to the minute.
Browse our website. www.ofosa.org

Website notes: Updated animal data is sent to the website as frequently as possible. Be sure to refresh the adoption pages in your browser for the latest information. Profiles of available pets are displayed on the available for adoption pages (Dogs and Cats). All information we have concerning an animal’s temperament and health is included on their profile.

Meet the animals and an Adoption Counselor
Once you’ve found an animal (or two!) that you’re interested in adopting, please email us at info@ofosa.org to set up a meet and greet with the foster family who is taking care of that pet. All pets have received an examination and assessed for any health or possible behavioral concerns to the extent possible while in our care.

REQUIREMENTS: All members of the family along with any other dogs must be present to meet the new animal to make sure that everyone is compatible! Dogs must not live as outdoor pets and all animals are REQUIRED to be spayed or neutered. Certain breeds will not be adopted to apartment dwellers. We also reserve the right to refuse to place an animal in a home without a fenced in back yard. We adopt our animals based on a first come, first qualified basis. Our main concern is to match our animals with the most ideal home, the decision is based on many different factors.

Complete the adoption
If you so choose, you are able to take the pet home on the same day that you first meet them. When you’ve found a great match, it’s time to complete the adoption process! You’re welcome to ask our volunteers or fosters questions about training and for tips on helping your new pet adjust to your home.

Placing Pets on Hold: We do not place animals on hold. We adopt out on a First Come, First Qualified basis.

Medical or Behavior Consults: If the pet you’re interested in has any medical conditions, we will arrange pre-adoption consultations with our medical / clinic staff so you know what to expect.
