About Sunny

Click apply to start the adoption process. Meet Sunny, a 2-month-old puppy who traveled all the way from Puerto Rico in search of a loving forever home. At just 7 pounds, this lab mix delight is pure puppy joy—adorable, friendly, and bursting with charm. His gentle and happy personality means he loves meeting new people and is always keen to soak up affection, whether that's chasing a toy, investigating something new, or cuddling up for some down time. With his playful spirit and curiosity, Sunny is at the perfect stage to start learning about the world. His adopter should be home during the day to provide ongoing training and socialization so he can blossom into a confident, well-adjusted companion. Sunny’s sweet, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful addition to families, especially those ready to help a puppy start out right. Because of his young age, Sunny’s immune system won’t be fully developed until about 16 weeks, so he is not suitable for apartments, condos, or townhomes without a private fenced yard. Until that teen milestone, he should avoid public places heavily trafficked by other dogs. Adopters must be at least 25 years old, and first step in approval is a vet check for pet care standards. Fun fact: Sunny’s birthday is December 24, making him a Capricorn—known for their loyalty and determination! Ready to welcome a bright, loving puppy to your home? Sunny may be the perfect match to light up your life! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
