Sunny's Story

SUNNY IS BEING FOSTERED IN NEW YORK. APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED NATIONWIDE. <br/>Sunny is a very happy dog with a lot of energy. About 2 years old, she had a rough start to life, but is now thriving in her foster home.<br/><br/>Sunny loves everyone! She has taken well to meeting children, adults, and other dogs. She has been exposed to chickens and shows a healthy curiosity through the fenced-in run.<br/><br/>Calm and polite, Sunny has had lunch with her fosters at a dog-friendly restaurant and gone on hikes with ease. In public Sunny is a very good girl. She does jump when she says hi to people, but if you ask her to sit, or ignore her and wait for her to sit on her own, she will let you pet her without jumping. <br/><br/>She is learning how to settle around other dogs. She loves them a bit too much and will poke at them for attention, despite them asking for space. Her fosters are working on this. Right now, if an adopter has another dog, only a home experienced with having multiple dogs and only dogs that are younger and able to keep up with her energy are recommended.<br/><br/>Sunny is smart! Her fosters discovered that she knows the German commands for sit and down, and also responds very well to the hand signals for these commands. She has a great recall, but this has only been tested on the fosters’ fenced-in acre of land. Sunny is working on learning how to settle in the house, as she currently will jump on you and mouth your hands to get you to pay attention to her.<br/><br/>The foster home has a lot of chews and toys for her to choose from, and she has learned what is a dog toy and what isn’t. In her past she would chew on things if she was bored. Since being in her foster home, she has occasionally chewed on things she shouldn’t have but was easily redirected. Once redirected, she never goes back to chew on the same thing. For the most part, Sunny is trustworthy if she wanders into another room alone. She is crate trained, so if the foster is not home, she is crated. Sometimes Sunny will investigate tempting things on the edge of the counter. Her fosters are working on this and do not think this will be an issue long term. <br/><br/>This sweet girl has the potential to be the perfect dog once she learns some rules about living in a house. Her fosters are working on helping program that “off switch” for her. <br/><br/>If you would like to know more about Sunny, please contact Kim at staroseranch@jps.net Please put NESR Sunny in the subject line. We encourage all prospective adopters to read more about the breed, the adoption process, and all the dogs in our care by visiting our website (www.nesr.info). An adoption application is required of all prospective adopters.
