Adoption information
I've been adopted!
About Sonny
If you’re on the market for a loyal and fun companion, I’m your guy! I am full of character and have a big grin and one ear that just won't stand up, the humans say it's cute.
I’m pretty chilled out, I love my daily walks, toys and become a big fluffy couch potato at night. Apparently I'd make a good running, hiking or bike riding buddy. I do like to go out and explore with the humans.
For the first few minutes of a walk, I am loving life and all it’s offering, but after a little while I chill back out. I like to say hi to everyone I meet (human and animal) and am still learning that it’s not okay to hug strangers (or family), even if I do give them my biggest smile.
I’m still nailing down the basic commands (food is a great motivator for me), so my new family will need to continue solidifying all my skills. Sometimes I forget I can't jump and chew on the humans like I can with other dogs and I try it with the people- they don't seem to enjoy it, not sure why. My people say I will need further help to make sure I understand what the humans do like me to do with them.
I’m toilet trained, using a doggie door or else I’ll just sit silently at the back door and wait to be let out. I sleep in my own room at my foster home and have never had any accidents inside, but would love to upgrade to a doggy bed in my people's room.
I am a pretty independent guy who will sleep / play happily by myself, but if you have another dog in your home, we will get along really well!

Medical notes
I LOVE the outdoors and sunshine, but it sometimes doesn’t love my skin and causes me to get really itchy (seem to flare up around grass). I get regular injections to help, but at the moment we are investigating better long term options. Whilst we are finding the right fit I am taking antihistamines and occasionally have baths with medicated shampoo. I am eating turkey based grain free food. It's tasty, but I would eat anything!
Adoption details
Our adoption process is about finding people and pets their perfect match. Please email us for an application questionnaire. Your answers help us to ensure the pet you are enquiring about is suitable for your lifestyle.
Please note all our animals are in private foster homes. We do not have a shelter. Therefore all meets are by appointment only.
