Story
Meet Sunday (ACCT-A-258041), a charming gentleman who is ready to make every day feel like a relaxing weekend! Sunday has been a star pupil since arriving at the shelter, often seen sitting quietly at the front of his kennel with soft, hopeful eyes, waiting for a friend to stop by.
Sunday is a big fan of his daily walks and handles the leash well, though his nose occasionally leads the way to the best sniffing spots! He is a polite treat-taker and a social fellow who enjoys gentle handling.
If you’re looking for a sweet, treat-loving companion who will appreciate every bit of love and every peanut butter snack you can offer, Sunday is waiting to meet you!

08/09/2026 per staff:
Kennel Presentation: At the front of his kennel, soft eyes, ears back, loose body, mid level loose wags. Took a treat gently through the bars.
Leash Skills: Tossed treats to move him back, when he came back to the front was easily leashed and came right out. Walked pulling mildly on leash. Would occasionally pull strongly towards areas to sniff.
Sociability: Would not come over when called, came over for treats and took them gently. Allowed all handling with ears to the side, mid to high tail, loose body, slightly open mouth. Would remine next to me for a second after I stopped then moved away to sniff.
Play: n/a
Dog Interaction: Saw dogs through the fence, sniffed at them with a high tail, ears to the side and moved away.
Return to Kennel: Clipped leash on return due to notes of needing two handlers to return on walk sheet. Walked pulling mildly, eyes darting, high tail. Slowed down and started to lower his body as we got closer, picked up the pace into a light jog and he kept moving and hopped right in.
Color Level: Blue
Recommendations and considerations: If he continues to go into kennel on his own can be leveled down
