About Sunny

Sunny is a Chesapeake Labrador mix with a bright, joyful spirit and the kind of energy that fills a backyard in no time. He is lively, adventurous, and loves nothing more than running, playing, and romping with other dogs that share his enthusiasm for fun. If you have a canine pal with a similar size and zest for life, Sunny will fit right in. He’s dog friendly and, though not a cat chaser, does well around felines from what his fosters have seen. Affectionate by nature, Sunny lives for hugs and closeness. He’s happiest when he’s part of whatever is going on, whether that’s a walk in the park, a car ride, or simply quiet time by your side. His expressive looks and upbeat energy quickly win people over. Sunny survived tough beginnings as the only survivor of his litter—born near a DMV lot and scraping by until rescue. He carries that resilience with him but is more than ready to leave hard times behind for a home full of warmth and fun. He thrives with routine and plenty of calm after the action. Given his high energy, Sunny is best suited to a home with a large, secure yard and preferably older kids or teens who are comfortable with an active, strong dog. He doesn’t love being crated during the day but sleeps well at bedtime and is fully house trained. Sunny’s next adventure is waiting. Are you the one to give it to him? Ready to fall in love?
