Sunflower is a sweet and thoughtful girl who's still finding her confidence in a big, busy world. She may be shy at first, preferring to quietly observe rather than dive into the spotlight, but her gentle spirit shines through when she feels safe and cared for.
In doggie playgroup, Sunflower tends to steer clear of rowdy play and prefers a calm space. She's a bit more sensitive and can get easily overwhelmed-she's a little more "tippable" than most dogs. Recently, she got into a tussle; although she didn't start it, she was clearly ready to stand her ground when pushed.
Sunflower is food motivated, which helps build trust and shows she's open to learning and growing in the right environment. She needs a patient, understanding home where she can blossom at her own pace, with people who respect her boundaries and help her feel secure. During walks in unfamiliar areas, she "checks in" with her handler and with encouragement, she keeps pace.
Sunflower recently went on an outing with a volunteer. Here is what they had to say: "Sunflower was a dream in the car, though she was at first a little unsure about getting in the car. Once in the car she was quiet just taking in the sites. We took her disc golfing, and she was a great companion. We were worried she would get too excited with the disc and want to chase them and she would be hard to control, that worry quickly went away, she showed interest while my husband was throwing but did not try to take off after the disc, instead she waited and just walked with us, sticking close to me."
If you're looking for a quiet, kind-hearted companion who will reward your patience with gentle love and loyalty, Sunflower might just be the perfect match. Come meet her and discover the quiet strength behind her soft glow.
If you're interested in learning more about her, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Sunflower 260686".
She is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be spayed prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 49.5 Age: 2yrs 6mths 1wks
