Hi everyone! My name is Sunny, pleased to meet you! Named because I am such a bright, happy personality. I was rescued by Off The Chain after my owner was ill-prepared to raise a puppy and decided I needed a more committed home. I came into care very underweight, and terrified as I hadn't left my yard or met many people often. It took me about 2 days to settle in, and then I was way calmer and more relaxed.

Since coming into care, I have proven to be a lovely, friendly girl, who really deserves a second chance at life. I currently live with adult humans, 3 large & medium sized adult dogs, and 2 cats. I get along great with everyone here. I can be nervous around new humans when I first meet them, but will warm up, especially if you've got treats! I love to play with my toys and run around, and am used to a carer who works full time hours. I just hang out in the yard with the other dogs until they're home! I get excited when everyone is home, but I also don't mind entertaining myself while they're gone, and don't fret as long as I have another dog for company.

I currently live behind a 4ft fence and would need the same or higher with no gaps, to keep me safe. I also need a dog friend to keep me company, preferably someone older and my size or bigger who I can have fun playing with, without worrying about smooshing them. I can be a bit standoffish when I first meet a new dog as I have been beaten up in past- but within minutes you'll see me relax and learn that they mean me no harm- and once we're friends, it's play time non stop! I am a really loving, enthusiastic doggo who loves to play chase and wrestle with other dogs. I was beautifully natured at the vet clinic, and even though it was obvious I haven't had much medical care until OTC saved me, and I was a bit nervous- I still happily let them feed me treats and do what they needed.

Inside, I am a typical high-energy teenager, and will get into things if left on the ground. Currently I sleep outside at night, as I get a bit restless inside and pace the hallway- but outside I am happy to just go to sleep. We are working on building up my inside confidence, as well as my confidence in general - I am a very very fast learner, and super eager to please. I have learned come, sit, wait, and outside. If you want me to sleep inside at night, I recommend my adopter crate-train me so that I have a safe, cosy place for overnight and I can't get into any mischief. I'd be a fantastic agility or park run buddy and I LOVE to please and learn- I am definitely a dog that will impress you if you put effort into me. My exact breed mix is unknown, but we think kelpie x arab. I will likely reach 25-30kg as an adult.

So what do you think- do I sound like the match for you? If so, please apply to adopt me asap!
