Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sunny is as sweet as they come!
His previous mommy had to move to a place that she could not take him and his brother and sister (house siblings not litter siblings), so they have found a soft place to land in rescue while we search for the perfect forever homes for them.
Sunny can be a little skittish at first as it takes a little bit to earn his trust, but here in rescue he was acting fine within 24 hours. He has never nipped anyone and the family he came from has 10 grandchildren that freely picked him up. He doesn't like you to put your face in his to give him a kiss though so children would need to be taught these boundaries.
He does give kisses and if he really likes you, he will let you hold him like a baby, rub his belly and will purr like a cat, though it sounds like a low growl. He loves to lay by your side and watch TV.
He is doggie door trained and knows to go outside, but if you are not using a doggie door just remind him not to in the house and bring him to the door until he gets used to no doggie door. He loves to have blankets to burrow and snuggle in. He is very unique and loyal.
He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. He gets along great with all the other small breed dogs here in rescue, he barks at the larger dogs as they go by and is very hesitant around them. He has not been cat tested.
If you decide to keep these siblings together and adopt one or more we will apply a Multi-dog adoption discount.
