Meet Sunny, a handsome 9-year-old, 70lb neutered pittie mix who brings joy and sunshine wherever he goes! He's a playful, goofy boy with a huge heart and an infectious enthusiasm for life. Sunny loves spending time with his people, giving kisses, showing off his tricks, and playing with his favorite toys. He has been living with a professional trainer and has an excellent foundation in obedience, knowing commands like sit, down, stay, place, and several fun movement tricks. Sunny is fully house-trained and crate-trained, settling nicely in his kennel for 6-8 hours at night. He's eager to learn, especially with his food motivation, and enjoys continuing his training.
Ideal Home
Sunny has a moderate energy level and would love a home that enjoys daily walks, playtime, and including him in family activities. He can get excited when he sees other dogs and may pull or lunge, but he quickly refocuses with calm guidance. He enjoys rough-and-tumble play with medium and large dogs, but requires slow, proper introductions and continued guidance. He would do well with a balanced, tolerant dog, or would be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. Sunny loves meeting new people and greets them with excitement. He can get mouthy when he's excited, so he'd do best with older, dog-savvy children (10+) who can help reinforce good manners and respect his boundaries.
Ongoing Health

Training & Support

With calm guidance and redirection, he quickly refocuses. He enjoys rough-and-tumble play with other dogs, but doesn't always recognize when another dog is ready for a break, so slow introductions and continued guidance are important. He can get mouthy when he's excited, so older children can help reinforce good manners and respect his boundaries.
