My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sonny was discovered months ago living in a forested area in the mountains. A kindhearted person began feeding him, but Sonny was fearful and kept his distance, not allowing anyone to touch him. But this hero kept feeding him. Sonny made it through freezing nights and snow storms before he was trapped and brought to the vet office. His hair was so long and matted; he looked like a mini English Sheepdog. After shaving him down, the vet staff believes he might be Cockapoo. But it is difficult to tell for sure until his hair grows back out again and is maintained. The vet guesstimates that Sonny is approx. 4 yrs. old and he is currently 15.5 lbs. He has captured the heart of the staff at the vet office. His biggest fan, Holly, says "He is very special and shy at first; but warms up quickly. He is hypo-allergenic; but will require regular grooming. He was terrified of everything when he first came to our facility, but has blossomed with the love that everyone here shows him".
Holly continues "I would absolutely take this lil' Pumpkin home; but I can't because I have an aggressive dog at home. There are a handful of extra-special babies that come through our facility and he is one of them. He is just plain precious! Anyone would be so lucky to have him as part of their family".
Because Sonny is being boarded, we don't know the answers to some questions. We are not sure if he is 100% housetrained, he has not had the opportunity to be around children, but he is well mannered and gentle. He has not had the opportunity to be around cats, and he doesn't seem to mind other dogs, but hasn't had any direct inter-action with them.
