Special Adoption Considerations: When Sunny arrived from the shelter, he was pretty reserved in the hustle and bustle of city life. He has been making great strides in boarding and in his current foster home! We think Sunny would do best  in a home that either has a resident dog or who can make sure Sunny has lots of opportunities to go on walks regularly with other dogs or visit dog parks and/or doggy-daycare with other dogs to build confidence.  

 

Sunny is Looking For:   His forever home! Through no fault of his own this cutie landed in the shelter. He's at the tail end of puppyhood and hasn't seen nearly enough of the world. He's eagerly looking forward to having his own humans for romps in the park and all the adventures they can dream up - he's got all that awesome young-dog energy to burn. And dog school so he can show how super smart he is. And then pets and cuddles and belly scritches at the end of a fun day together. 

Most of all, though, he wants to know he's safe and loved. In exchange he promises all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags he's storing up, and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Is Sunny the one you see by your side?

What My Foster Says About Me: Sunny has been great! He's adjusting well and is very curious and interested in everything. He loves playing with toys and had a blast with some puzzle and chew toys. I have been taking him for walks and he enjoys sniffing everything. He also enjoys going to the dog park and warmed up to the other dogs right away. He loves other people and gets very wiggly when he sees the people he knows. 

 

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training. 

TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you submit an adoption application either online or at an adoption event. The individual responsible for the dog you are interested in adopting - a position we call the “adoption coordinator” - will then set up a time to discuss your application over the telephone. The adoption coordinator will check your vet reference to make sure all current and past pets were kept up-to-date with their shots and medical care. The adoption coordinator will also set up a home visit with one of our trained volunteers. That individual will come to your home to ensure that it is a safe environment, to confirm that everyone in the home is on board with adopting a dog, and to discuss any other questions you may have about dog adoption!

Go meet their pets

Our adoption events are held each weekend. A schedule of times and locations can be found at www.luckydoganimalrescue.org.
