Sunny

Meet Sunny! Sunny is a handsome, 9-year-old, 70lb neutered pittie mix who brings joy wherever he goes. He's a playful, goofy boy with a huge heart and an infectious enthusiasm for life, always happiest when he's spending time with his people. Sunny 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. He's fully house-trained, crate-trained, and settles nicely in his kennel at night. Because he's so food motivated, he's eager to learn 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 walks well on a loose leash, although he can become excited when he sees other dogs and may pull or lunge. With calm guidance and redirection, he quickly refocuses. When it comes to other dogs, Sunny is playful and energetic, enjoying rough-and-tumble play with medium and large dogs. He'll need slow, proper introductions and continued guidance, as he doesn't love every dog he meets. He'd do well with a balanced, tolerant dog, but would also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. Sunny loves meeting new people and greets them with excitement—and sometimes a little too much enthusiasm! 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. Sunny's ideal home is an active family or couple who will continue his training, provide structure, and shower him with the love and affection he thrives on.
