About Sunny

Sunny is a busy, sweet medium-sized Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix with a knack for stealing the show. She adores being around children—she’s lived happily with kids ranging from 5 to 12 years old and is currently thriving in a foster home full of other dogs. She’s house and potty trained, crate trained, and always eager to pick up new tricks. Snuggles are one of her favorite things, and she looks for someone who can guide her energy in the right direction, ideally a confident person or family ready for a hands-on companion. Although her last owners described some leash reactivity and protective behavior when guests arrived, she hasn’t shown those tendencies in her foster home. Sunny is sharp, likely taking her job as family bodyguard a bit too seriously at times, but when her energy is channeled positively, she shines as a loyal partner. Be aware, though—Sunny’s strong prey drive means she cannot be in a home with cats, and her vocal beagle nature makes apartment life a bad fit. Vaccinated and spayed, she’s ready for her next chapter. Fun fact: Sunny is a Libra, which might explain her desire for plenty of company! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
