About Sleepyfun!

Sleepyfun! is currently being fostered in PA and is every bit as sweet as his name suggests. He loves attention and has a soft spot for cuddling when his puppy energy winds down. Toys and chews keep him occupied, but what really lights him up is playtime with other dogs—it builds his confidence and brings out his goofy side. Sleepyfun! isn’t fully house trained yet, but he’s making progress, especially when kept on schedule. Basic commands are coming along, too; he learns fast when treats are involved. In the foster home, the resident cats steer clear, but there’s no sign of hostility on his part, and he’d likely be fine with cats. Sleepyfun! enjoys sitting on the patio with a bone, just soaking in the world outside. He’s looking for someone ready to keep up training and enjoy his mix of energy and affection.
