Sonny's Story

Sonny came to us as a stray, and his journey toward trust is unfolding day by day. He’s slowly warming up to people, showing glimpses of the loyal and loving companion he’s meant to be. Sonny has a big bark and a cautious nature, so we’re taking things slow to help him feel safe and secure.<br/><br/>Because of his wariness around new faces, Sonny will likely need multiple meet-and-greets to truly connect with his future humans. We’re not sure yet how he feels about other dogs or cats, so a careful introduction would be necessary. At this time, we recommend that Sonny go to a home with no kids. <br/><br/>A fenced yard is required for Sonny, as he’s still learning to feel comfortable around strangers and needs a secure space to decompress and explore.<br/><br/>If you are interested in meeting Sonny, please fill out an application for him online. <br/><br/>Information may change as we get to know Sonny better.

Step 1: Adoption Application -Fill out an online adoption application. This is not a binding contract. -If you have a specific animal in mind or would like help identifying a suitable match, the completion of the application starts this conversation. -All applications go through a verification process before moving on to Step 2. -Vet Record Verification: We check to ensure that current pets are spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. -Home Ownership/Landlord/HOA Verification: We check to ensure pets are allowed at this home and ask about any breed restrictions from the landlord, HOA or city. -If there are any hiccups during the verification process, a volunteer will email you about the status of your application. -If you haven’t heard from us within 48 hours of submission, please check your spam folder! -Please understand that at times we receive multiple applications for the same dog. Our volunteers work tirelessly to ensure the best fit for each dog. Step 2: Meet and Greet -Once your application is verified, an adoption coordinator will be in touch as quickly as possible to discuss next steps. -The adoption coordinator can answer any questions you have about the dog and our process, and they will connect you with the foster volunteer to set up a meet and greet. -We require a meet and greet with all human and furry residents of the home to ensure we are finding the best fit for everyone. Step 3: Home Visit -A home visit is mandatory prior to any dog adoption. -After a successful meet and greet, a home visit volunteer will schedule a time for a home check. -Home visits are not meant to be intrusive. The goal of a visit is to see where our adoptees will live and give adopters a chance to know us better. -The most important thing for us is to know that our animals are going to safe and caring homes and that all members of the family are prepared for a lifelong commitment to their new companion.
