About Sunny

Sunny is a sweet, spayed female Shetland Sheepdog with a beautiful sable and white coat. At around 8 years old and weighing 24 lbs, she’s experienced and ready for a loving home. Sunny came to rescue when her previous owner could no longer care for her, and she's now looking for a fresh start. She is up to date on her vet care and has recently had her teeth cleaned. Though a little shy initially, Sunny quickly bonds with her favorite people and is quite affectionate. She enjoys the company of other dogs, making her a great companion for a multi-pet household. However, she hasn’t been tested with cats or children yet. A securely fenced yard is essential for her safety and comfort. If you're considering adding a loyal friend to your life, look no further. Sunny is waiting to meet her forever family and would love to have you fill out an adoption application. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
