About Sonny

Meet Sonny, a lively 4-year-old Shih Tzu mix who brings joy wherever he goes. He thrives on companionship and needs to be adopted with his best friend, Cher, a Shih Tzu-Poodle mix. Together since birth, they share a bond that's hard to break. Sonny is affectionate and loves to play, often found cuddling on your lap or following Cher around, giving her loving licks to show his devotion. While Cher enjoys her independence, Sonny's playful spirit keeps the mood light in their shared space. Both pups were surrendered due to allergies in their previous home, and they are now ready for their forever family. It's important to note that they have lived together their whole lives, so they must be adopted as a pair to ensure their happiness. Both dogs are house-trained, although this hasn't been independently verified. They’re great in their crates, though Sonny might cry for a bit if you're still around. They are up-to-date on vaccinations, sterilized, and microchipped, fully prepared for their next adventure. Adoption requirements include residing within 45 miles of Columbus, being over 24 years of age, and having resident pets spayed or neutered. This affectionate duo has a combined adoption fee of $600, which includes all necessary health checks. Give Sonny and Cher the loving home they deserve; they are waiting for you to make their next chapter the best one yet!
