About Sonny
Hi, my name is Sonny and I came into care after I was dumped on the side of the road in a rural Queensland town with my sister. Since coming into care I have had all of my appropriate vet work, have put on weight and am flourishing. I am an intelligent boy, very playful, love people and mix well with other animals.
I love my soft toys, but my favourite game is rough and tumble with the other dogs! I love the company of other dogs so my ideal home will either have another dog for company, or take me to dog parks/play dates a couple times a week. I love nothing more though, than to please you. I am definitely a dog who wants to be your friend and be a part of the family. I currently sleep inside with my other dog friends and am good at bed time, and house training is coming along well. I know my basic commands and am food orientated, so very easy to teach. I haven't lived with cats yet but am easy to train-so an experienced owner will be able to train me up to be near cats in no time! I am used to a carer that works from home but being young and placid I will fit into almost any home easily. I absolutely love human children and am very good with them. My current home has 6ft fencing but I show no desire to escape so I may be ok with shorter fencing. Car rides are fun, I sit quietly. I do sometimes get car sick but only on big trips.
My foster carer says I am a delight to have around and I cannot wait to find my own family. If I sound like a good fit for you please contact my rescue asap. Love Sonny x
Medical notes
Healthy, happy! Fully vaccinated, desexed, microchipped, up to date with worm tick and flea.

- Outside shelter areas
- Other resident pets fully vaccinated and preferably desexed
- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age
Once you are ready to adopt, please complete the OTC Adoption Application questionnaire below. This is not a contract or agreement of any kind, just an expression of interest in the animal. We will not authorise meets unless this has been completed and only approved applicants may meet the animal. Once you are approved and have submitted all relevant information, we will organise for you to meet the pet at your home, or in a public place. If you have other pets they must be at the meet. You may be required to travel to the pet; we infrequently have admins available to drive extensive distance and it also says a lot if someone is able yet unwilling to come to the animal they have applied for. If for example you cannot drive, feel free to talk with us about possibility of travel to you.
At the meet if you and the pet get along you have the option of either taking the pet on the spot (in exchange for signed contract and the full adoption fee paid upfront) or placing the pet on hold for up to 2 days with a $100 non-refundable holding deposit. This deposit is then taken off the original adoption fee should you proceed with the adoption. Should you place a hold, we will not proceed other applicants until you have removed your hold or adopted the animal.
*PLEASE NOTE we do not hold pets without a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters, so you may miss out. We have had to make the deposit is non refundable to avoid time-wasters. The $100 holding deposit is then subtracted from the outstanding adoption fee, which is to be paid at collection of the pet. Eg if full adoption fee is $450, and you place a $100 holding fee on the animal- the day you collect the pet you will sign an adoption contract and pay the remaining $350 fee of which $50 is non-refundable.
On commencement of the trial period, OTC will send you a copy of your signed contract, the vaccination cards, desexing certificate and microchip number implant details. You will also be provided with 7 days worth of food, as well as what brand and type of food it is, so that you may change their diet slowly, or purchase more, if needed.
All animals are adopted out with vaccinations up to date; if for example you are adopting a young animal it may not have had a full protocol yet due to age- so any vaccinations due from date of adoption are the ethical and financial responsibility of the adopter. During the trial period, should the pet become ill, you must present it to the OTC-approved vet clinic in your area and OTC will cover any treatment needed.
So. Ready to roll? Then fill out the attached short form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox.
