Sunflower (aka Psych)'s Story

Name: Sunflower aka Psych (also responds to Psy)<br/><br/>Breed: Pitbull/Lab + Dogo Argentino<br/><br/>Sex/Age/Weight: Female/ DOB 04/12/2023 /83lbs<br/><br/>Vetting: Up to date on vaccines, spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventatives <br/><br/>House trained/Crate Trained: I stay in an outside kennel most of the time, but when I come in I do very well in my crate.<br/><br/>Dogs/Cats/Children: I love other dogs and adults, anyone who can play with me. I haven't had any interactions with children, but I love to play with anybody. The biggest concern would be my size - I am a very tall, muscular dog. I have not been observed around cats, but I can be tested upon request<br/><br/>Energy Level: Medium-high. I could play an endless game of fetch, but when playtime is over I like to be showered with pets.<br/><br/>Before FAR/My History: I am a FAR pup who was adopted out as a puppy and stayed with my owner until November 2024. Due to no fault of my own, my prior adopter could not keep me and turned me into a shelter. I was on the euthanasia list until FAR found out and brought me back into the program. I spent the holidays with my new foster family learning how to be part of the pack. I have several foster siblings from FAR - Schultz, Sheila aka Havoc, Oscar, Java, Weebles, and Wobbles - and I get to play with my foster's personal dogs too, so I have a wide range of experience with different breeds. My former name was Sunflower, but that did not fit me well in my new home. I got my new name because I am very intimidating from afar, but as soon as you get close enough to know me *PSYCH* I am just a bundle of love and happiness!<br/><br/>Training Status/Commands I know: I recall very well to the training collar beep, I will "sit" for you sometimes but I really don't know why you would ask me to, and I am very good at bringing the ball/toy back for fetch. <br/><br/>Things I like: Fetch! I love chasing a ball or toy or anything that you will throw to me. I do like playing with the other dogs if the human is too busy to play fetch, but I would prefer an hours-long game of fetch. When I play with the dogs, I want them to chase me while I have a ball in my mouth.<br/>I get along well with all the dogs that I live with, but my favorites by far are an older male pit and a male German Shepherd who are around my age. I love car rides and trips to the store.<br/><br/>Things I don't like: I don't like to be left out if others are out playing. I really don't like large trash cans or similar shapes that stand very still...it freaks me out. Also blow-up Christmas decorations make me uneasy.<br/><br/>Things that make my humans happy: My perseverance and intelligence - I was plucked out of the only home I have ever known and put into a completely different atmosphere, and even though I had to take it slowly at first, I adapted to my new home so well. That is how I process everything: first I will probably growl/bark at something new, but after I ease into it, I learn it's not so bad. I have met so many people and dogs and new things since I returned to FAR and (with the exception of the trash cans and an inflatable Santa) I have learned to love them all.<br/><br/>Ideal Family/Home: Because of my size and strength, I would probably do better with adults and older kids/teens. I am a young dog, and I've got a lot of energy. I also have a big voice - my bark is deep and my whine is high-pitched. I don't always use them, but when I do they are loud so a home with no sensitive ears/neighbors is probably best. I also have little sense of personal space so if you are in the market for an athletic, 83lb lap dog, look no further!<br/><br/>If you are interested in giving Sunflower aka Psych a forever home, please visit the link below to fill out an application! http://fureverafterrescue.org/adoption-application.html It is best to submit an application through a computer.
