Meet Sunny! This handsome 9-year-old, 70lb neutered pittie mix is a bundle of joy and affection, ready to bring sunshine into your life. Sunny is a playful and goofy boy with a heart as big as his personality, always eager to shower his people with kisses and share his infectious enthusiasm for life. He's lived with a professional trainer and boasts an excellent foundation in obedience, knowing commands like sit, down, stay, and place, along with fun movement tricks. Sunny is also fully house-trained and crate-trained, settling down nicely for 6-8 hours at night. His food motivation makes him a joy to continue training with, as he's always eager to learn more.
Ideal Home
Sunny has a moderate energy level and would love an active family or couple who can include him in their daily adventures, including walks and playtime. While he walks well on a leash, he can get excited when he sees other dogs and may pull or lunge in his eagerness. With calm guidance, he redirects well. He plays well with medium to large dogs but can be overly enthusiastic and needs slow, proper introductions and continued guidance. Finding a tolerant canine companion is important, though he would also be happy as the sole furry friend in the household. Sunny loves meeting new people and can be a bit too enthusiastic, sometimes getting mouthy when excited. He would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children (10+) who can help reinforce good manners and respect his boundaries.
