Watch More of Sonny
Sonny is quite the cuddlebug! He likes to be near his person and is a great companion. He has a fabulous sense of humor, loves to play and make you laugh. He vocalizes often and kicks up a pack howl every time he hears a siren on TV or outside; he makes some really cute noises. Sonny crates easily in an ex-pen for 7-8 hours, but can be left out for up to 3 hours alone with no accidents. He’s been building up the time he can spend out of the crate during the day. At night, Sonny stays on a dog bed in the bedroom with his people. Sonny loves other dogs and loves playing with children who are respectful of large dogs. This handsome guy is definitely trainable. He’s food motivated, but not over-driven. He knows to lie down in his bed for a treat at bedtime. “Lay down” with hand, fingers outstretched, pushing downward in the air. He knows “Kennel Up” to get into his ex-pen. Using “Kennel Up” to get into car. Sonny is cat and small dog safe. His forever home would be complete with another dog or cat companions and plenty of people for him to love and who love him in return.
