He loves treats, cheese, and cozy beds! Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Personality | Hi there!! My name is Sunny!! I'm slowly learning the world around me isn't such a scary place. I'm nervous in new situations but my foster mom says I am so brave and the sweetest most trusting boy once I get to know you. I love cheese and my foster parents often give me cheese to help me feel comfortable in new situations. I love living inside a home with comfy dog beds rather than outside in the Texas heat. I'm still figuring out what to do with toys but am very interested in them. I've started following my foster family around the house and hang under my foster dad's desk while he works. I will need some patience and love to conquer my fears but will surely blossom into a wonderful loving dog with time. Story | I came from Texas and was living with a lot of dogs. We were living outside amongst trash and debris and were confiscated from our owner. MHLM brought us here live the Colorado life. I have some scars on my body but am ready to put the past behind me and trust humans. Other Dogs | I have lived my whole life with other dogs and find comfort in having them around. I've also been in foster homes with other dogs and though I'm not playful quite yet I love having them around. I'm happy to share toys, food, water with my foster siblings. Cats | I haven't met a cat but my foster mom says I am a gentle soul and haven't shown signs of prey drive so would most likely do well with a dog friendly kitty.Children | I don't have any kiddos in my foster home. I can get spooked by loud noises and fast movements but am sweet and submissive so would likely love kids once I get to know them. I will just need some time to feel comfortable.Training | I know to do my business outside and LOVE my crate!!!! My crate is my safe space and I am perfectly content in the crate when my foster parents leave the house for a while. I am quiet and don't bark. I am the perfect car rider and will just lay down or sit taking in the world around me. I've recently started working with a trainer to help me build confidence. Leash l I really enjoy going on walks. I do get nervous and can get spooked by noises but recover quickly. I love to run and my foster mom thinks I would be a great a running buddy. I would love to go on hikes in these big beautiful Colorado mountains. I also love meeting the neighbor dogs on walks!!Activity Level | I'm a pretty mellow guy as I'm learning this new life isn't so scary.Health Notes | I am Heartworm negative, neutered, and up to date on vaccines!!Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $475 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $425 for 1-6 years, $375 for dogs 7-10 years, and $250 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $525. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.
