About Sonny
Meet Sonny 🐾
Sonny is a handsome 3-year-old boy with a resilient spirit and so much love to give.
If there's water nearby, you'll find Sonny in it! Swimming is his absolute favourite pastime, and he also loves a good game of fetch and exploring on walks with his long line. He's an active boy who enjoys getting out and about with his people.
Sonny is partially deaf, so he relies on hand signals rather than verbal commands. He's learnt these brilliantly and has adapted incredibly well. Because his hearing is limited, his recall can be unreliable, so he'll need a secure yard and enjoys adventures on a long line where he can safely explore.
Before coming into rescue, Sonny required surgery after injuring himself jumping a gate in his previous home. Not long after arriving into care, he also developed pancreatitis. With plenty of TLC and careful management, Sonny has made a fantastic recovery and now enjoys a normal diet, with only low-fat treats recommended to help keep him healthy.
Sonny can be selective with his dog friends, so slow introductions are important. He is not suited to a home with pocket pets or other small animals.
Sonny is looking for a patient, understanding family who will appreciate him for the special boy he is. In return, you'll gain a loyal, affectionate companion who has already overcome so much and is ready to enjoy the next chapter of his life.

Don't see a breed attached to one of our dogs? That's because we don't breed label dogs of unknown genetic history. We can't guess at breeds but that's okay, because we can tell you about the dog's individual personality, character, and behaviour.
