DESCRIPTION
Im being fostered in Milford MA and ready for meet and greets!
Hi! My name is Sonny. I am a 2 year old 50 lbs sweet, affectionate and mellow boy. I am very human oriented and love all humans but need time to warm up to human males as my personality is on the introverted side. I am also great with older gentle children, I have been in a foster home with children over 8 years old and I love to cuddle with them! I bond fast once I feel comfortable but it will take me a bit to feel safe.
I am not a hyper dog and Im perfectly happy just hanging out with my human at home and with just a walk around the neighborhood to meet new friends. I am good on a leash and non-reactive to dogs, humans or any animals that I see but I do tend to pull on the leash to go at my own pace so I need to work on my heeling technique.
My foster mom thinks because of my sweet demeanor I can be great as an only dog or be a great sidekick to another dog as Im by no means an alpha. I haven’t been cat tested but I have no prey drive or interest in the squirrels that I see in the yard so we think I can be great around them too. I am crate trained and house trained! I am also quiet and a great car rider as I am not territorial of my car, food or crate.
My foster mom calls me Sherlock Holmes because when Im in a new place I smell and want to check everything out! Then I relax and just like to hang out and enjoy my humans company.
I was rescued in Texas and Im looking for a foster to adopt in the northern states.
What that means is that the lucky family that wants to add me to their family has 2-3 weeks to get to know me before deciding if I am the right fit for their home. If I am not, my rescue will find me another foster to adopt up north asap.
My rescue thinks is best for my humans not to feel pressured to take a decision and need time to get to know me, and add me to their routine to see if we are a match before making the life decision to adopt me.
If you are interested in me and want to learn about the foster to adopt process please visit my rescues website directly as Petfinder inquiries many times get lost into junk mail and don’t make it to our email. Thanks!
