Sunny is a bright, sweet, and affectionate 3-year-old Chihuahua mix who weighs about 24 pounds. She loves long walks, running and playing, chewing on her favorite toys, taking long naps, and curling up for snuggles. She has a playful, funny personality and loves spending quality time with her people.
Sunny is house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She has received obedience training and knows “sit,” “wait,” and “in place.”
Sunny would thrive with an experienced pet parent who can provide plenty of exercise, continued positive training, and a securely fenced yard where she can safely run and get her zoomies out. She can be reactive toward other dogs and some people while on leash, so her new family should be comfortable continuing her training. She is selective with other dogs but has successfully played with calm, confident dogs. She should live in a home without cats and does well with calm, respectful older children.
