My story

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

Approximate Age: 5 years
Approximate Weight: 60 lbs

Meet Sunflower: Sweet, Loyal, And Active!

● Affectionate Nature: Sunflower is a sweet girl who just wants to be loved.
● Leash Manners: She walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys staying right by your side.
● Fetch Enthusiast: She loves a good game of fetch and is always ready to play.
● People Oriented: She truly loves people and is eager to find "her person."
● Loyal Companion: A gentle soul who is ready to give her whole heart to a new family.
● Dog Selective: She requires any resident dogs to attend a meet-and-greet to ensure a good match.

Sunflower is a gentle and loyal companion who can’t wait to find a family to call her own. Whether she is walking beautifully by your side or chasing after a ball during a fun game of fetch, she is sure to bring endless joy to your home.

Health Note: Sunflower is Ehrlichia positive (a non-contagious, tick-borne condition) that requires an affordable 28-day course of doxycycline (an inexpensive antibiotic). With this condition, a dog may always test positive even if treated. The adopter is responsible for treatment including cost. It’s always a good idea to plan to keep your dog on a joint supplement for life.

Schedule a meet-and-greet with Sunflower by completing our Adoption Survey on the Adopt page of our website at https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org/adoption-survey.
