About Sonny

Sonny is a 10-month-old Terrier/Boxer mix with a memorable underbite that gives him plenty of character. He’s proven himself to be an excellent houseguest and keeps a tidy routine indoors.

Time spent with his friends at A Furry Tail always lifts his spirits, showing just how much Sonny enjoys canine company. He gets along well with other dogs but does not get along with cats, so a feline-free home would be ideal. Sonny’s playful side comes out when he’s with his dog pals, while at home he’s as sweet-natured and affectionate as they come.
