My story

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

Meet Sunny!

Sunny is a 5 month old small mixed breed puppy looking for her forever home! This little sweetheart has mastered the biggest puppy dog eyes and has the cutest disposition. This poor girl was brought to animal control after being dumped in the middle of a forest preserve with evidence of head trauma. Brought into a foster home to recover, Sunny has grown and thrived despite her shy nature.

She has made friends with both large and small dogs, her best friend being a Great Pyrnees mix. Sunny has even gotten the household cat to warm up to her. She is their little shadow around the house and enjoys walking the fence line with the pack, though she is still working up the courage to go adventuring on her own. Humans are her second best friend and want to be part of all the action. One of her favorite pastimes is napping in bed beside you.

Right now, Sunny is crate-trained and currently working on potty-training. She is learning that peeing on pee pads is a good choice and is getting braver about doing business outside so long as she has a good support system. Her leash skills aren’t perfect, but they are improving every day!

This pocketful of sunshine can be shy at first when it comes to new people, but warms up quickly. This little pup is attention motivated and loves her toys, though needs the occasional reminder which ones are hers! She is still very much a puppy and likes to explore with her mouth. Sunny swears she is practicing her best manners though!

Sunny is looking for the perfect family to give her their unconditional love and attention. She needs someone who will take things at her pace and help boost her confidence.
