Sonny's Story

Sonny has "Pain Aggression" caused from having a chronic ear infection. I've had an ear infection and i remember the pain. But... No more pain for this boy! It was determined that allergies were/are the cause of Sonny's ear infections. He will be on a strict prescription diet for life (please no treats other than his food), or until the source of his allergies can be found. But with this diet, he is now symptom-free!<br/><br/>Sonny loves other small dogs and immediately blended in with his foster siblings. He even gets along with cats! He loves playing and lounging both outside and on the couch. He's good on leash and loves to go for a RID E in the C A R!<br/><br/>Sonny is looking for a calm home with other dog-friendly pets and predictable routines. Please, no young children as he's been given the nickname BABY SHARK Are you ready to meet your very own land shark?<br/><br/>To meet Sonny, please contact his foster, Anna at: 1-916-502-2405
