My story

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

Good with other dogs • Good with cats • Food motivated • Playful • Snuggly

Sonic is a super sweet and snuggly little pup. He may be timid at first, but once he warms up, he’s a playful, happy little guy who loves to be close to his humans. He is always curious about where you are and prefers to be by your side. Sonic enjoys toys, chews, and has a great appetite, always ready for a meal.

He loves the company of his foster family's dogs and his two little foster brothers. At night, Sonic sleeps in the bed with his fosters, ensuring he’s cozy and close. During the day, he takes naps in dog beds or on the couch.

Sonic is making good progress with potty training. While he often goes near the pads, he occasionally misses. He hasn’t had much opportunity to go outside due to the cold, but we expect he’ll be ready for outdoor potty trips soon.

Though he’s still a little awkward when being picked up, Sonic loves snuggling next to you on the bed or couch. He especially enjoys watching the humans cook, and he gets a special treat every day, usually rice, scrambled eggs, and cottage cheese.

Sonic is a very special pup, and he would thrive with a family that appreciates his affectionate nature and enjoys having a loving companion who likes to stay close.

Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from Little Dog Rescue. Our dogs come from a variety of sources and backgrounds. They are all in need of adopters that have patience, an understanding of where these dogs have come from, and that there will be an adjustment time when they transition into their forever home. This can include learning basic commands, walking on leash and potty training. Some dogs will pick up on your routine and expectations faster than others. Potty accidents will happen. We find that positive reinforcement, consistency, and routine from the adopter achieves the best results.

We are a small, all volunteers team and give 100% of our efforts towards doing right by these pups. We are often juggling many responsibilities at the same time and do our very best to process inquiries and applications in a timely manner. We do prioritize inquiries that have a submitted application on file through the Little Dog Rescue website.

We do our best to accurately assign breed designations, however we are unable to guarantee 100% accuracy. Sometimes we only have the dogs appearance to go on.

Our adoption fees are thoughtfully considered. The adoption fee is not a purchase price for the dog. It is a fee that is designed to support the overall work of our rescue. Highly desirable dogs and puppies are intentionally listed with a higher adoption fee. This is done to help offset the enormous medical expenses we incur when taking in older pups and special needs medical dogs whose adoption fees do not come close to covering their expenses. In addition, the vast majority of our dogs are brought in from out of state and incur transport fees along with their medical and acquisition costs. We ask that you take all of these things into consideration, and we look forward to finding a great match for your family.
