Shepherd and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in San Diego, California

I’m Sunny! I was born around January 22, 2026, and I’m a playful and affectionate Shepherd/Lab mix expected to grow into about 60 pounds. I started my journey with my mom and siblings in Mexico, and though I’ve had a tough start, I’m now a happy, loving puppy who can’t wait to find my forever home!

Here’s why I’m a total ray of sunshine:

Loving & Playful – I’m full of love and energy, and I adore playtime and cuddles.

Cuddle Bug – Snuggling up with my person is one of my favorite things. I just love being close!

Social Butterfly – I’m super friendly and love spending time with people. The more, the merrier!

Curious & Smart – I’m eager to learn and explore the world around me, and I’m ready to work on things like leash training and potty training with a little help from my new family.

I’m still working on potty training and leash walking, and I haven’t quite figured out crate training yet, but I’m a quick learner and I’m excited to grow into the best dog I can be with the right guidance.

My dream home would have a family that works from home and can give me lots of attention, playtime, and love. I would love a yard to play in and a family who wants to take me on adventures, but most importantly, I just want to be a part of the family. I’m also looking for someone who can be patient as I learn and grow, and I’d be thrilled to have a furry sibling to play with!

My adoption fee is $550, which covers my first year of vaccinations, spay/neuter, and microchip. Do I sound like the dog for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at http://www.thecantufoundation.org
