Meet Sonja Sunshine




Sonja (Up for adoption)
Sonja is my foster dog. She was originally pulled from the Staten Island ACC and has been with us for a little over a year now. She is an incredibly affectionate, smart, silly girl who would make a wonderful addition to the right family. Sonja is spayed and already up to date on all her shots. She knows her basic commands, some tricks. She was enrolled in a four week nose work class this past summer and showed some great potential. Sonja absolutely loves the outdoors and would make a fantastic hiking/exercise partner. She walks very well on the leash. Sonja isn't a high energy dog but she is athletic and does need her exercise. But after a nice long hike in the park or a good game of fetch, she's perfectly content to spend the rest of the day cuddling with you on the couch. No food guarding/resource or handling issues. She is an absolute love bug whose favorite place in on your lap. Sonja is well handled and loves be be cuddled and fussed over. She's housebroken. When we first got her, she had some separation anxiety. She wouldn't bark excessively or destroy our furniture but she would have pee accidents on the floor every now and then when she was left alone. Fortunately it seems that she has gotten over it and can now be left alone with no issues. While she is civil to other dogs in passing, she would do best as the only dog. No cat's however. She'd also do better with older children (13+) since she can be a little jumpy when she's really excited. Overall, she is a wonderful companion dog; very affectionate, playful and silly. Although she is currently in NYC, we will adopt out to the surrounding areas. If you are interested or have any other questions please contact Theresa: (rodri070@gmail.com)/ or Doreen 718 994-1220 please leave a message.

Please meet Sonja a lovely young girl. Sonja weights 50 lbs. Sonja loves kisses and kisses back. Children (12+) is good. Sonja tolerates all sorts of handling, however she can get over excited and jumpy with continuous excitement. Sonja gets along with other dogs, as long as the dog is mellow. However, it's a plus the adopter be bully breed knowledgeable. Sonja would be best for an energetic owner, who appreciates long hikes, taking walks etc. Sonja is great on the leash, and LOVES to play fetch. Sonja will also nap at your feet on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Sonja also is very civil on her walks. However, Sonja does not like pushy dogs, and enjoys her personal space.
Which is good kind of live and let live, with tact. Sonja is pretty quiet indoors, she does bark when there is someone by the door. Sonja really bonds with her owners, she will jump into your lap when invited, and then some. She loves to be handled, and held in your arms like a baby. She has no toy or food guarding issues.
You are invited to meet Sonja in person. She is being fostered in NYC
If interested please call: Doreen 718 994-1220 ( We await your call ;-) )
