About Sunny

Sunny is on the lookout for a foster home! This sweet 12-year-old Chihuahua mix found himself abandoned in a scorching 106-degree backyard along with seven other dogs. Thanks to the quick actions of rescue groups, Sunny and his friends were saved from that dire situation. Upon arrival, he greeted his rescuers with a wagging tail, showing he knew the cavalry had come to help. Weighing about 12 lbs, Sunny is not just small in size but big in heart. He’s friendly with everyone he meets and gets along great with other dogs. Although his skin was weathered from the sun and flea exposure, he’s improving daily and is now fully vetted, even having received dental care. Sunny is ready for a second chance at life with a loving home. He requires a household without large dogs or children under 5 years old. For those in the Dallas Metroplex or surrounding areas, it's possible to try him out for a week before officially adopting. Interested in meeting this adorable boy? Reach out via email.
