Sonny Bono came from tough beginnings in Southern California, where he and four other dogs were found neglected, underfed, and living without shelter. He was badly injured when rescued, needing surgery for wounds on his head and neck. Thanks to committed veterinary care and a caring foster, Sonny has made a full recovery. He’s a large, short-coated American Staffordshire Terrier male who displays a relaxed, affectionate energy despite everything he’s endured. Sonny’s calmness is grounded by a strong will, which means he’s happiest with a confident, experienced handler. He’s house trained and has done well with other dogs during careful introductions, including his senior foster sister. He’s openhearted and eager for a stable home where kindness and structure are the norm. Your new best friend is just one click away.
