Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Thank you for your interest in adopting.
Sunny was found stray 16 months ago in Bessemer with two other dogs. We believe that they had been put out on the highway by there previous owner. She is the last of the three dogs to find her home.
Sunny is a wonderful dog for the right person. She spends her day laying in a fenced yard, watching the deer or the mailman drive-by. She does not dig her yard, she has never tried to get out of her chain-link fence, she doesn’t bother anything in the house, She rarely barks and when she does, it’s a very low bark, nothing obnoxious. Sunny does not get along with other dogs. It’s not her fault, she sees them as a threat to her resources, and that’s not unusual for a dog that came from a neglected background.
Sunny needs to be the only dog in her home and that home preferably would not include a man. She suitable for a retired lady, someone that doesn’t have kids or grandchildren, or a widow. She bonds with her caregiver. Sunny was adopted last fall, but she did not do well with a man in the house. He said if his wife was single, she would have the best dog in the world.
She could also go to a Home where she is put away when there is a maintenance man in the house, when someone comes to visit, or if she’s not comfortable. Sunny needs a dog savvy person.
This dog simply needs to live with a woman. She’s a wonderful dog. She doesn’t bother anything in the house or in the yard. She’s full of love and happy tail wags. She could be walked any wear on a leash, and she is not reactive. She loves her walks. Maybe you need a friend to walk with you?
Sunny is spayed, heartworm negative, current on vaccines, and receiving parasite prevention. Her fee is sponsored to the Approved Home.
If you are seriously interested in adopting this dog and communicating further, please fill out the application online. Applicant should have a fenced yard and no other animals at home. We would be happy to meet at a local park. She is great on a leash on a walk, even if dogs are on the same street. She is totally fine leashed!
