Sunny Delight came to us very shy and undersocialized after being found as a stray. She has blossomed in her foster home but is still wary of new people and new places.

In her foster home, she has come to trust the female in the home. She does a happy dance when she sees her leash to go for a walk and at mealtimes. She is still wary of the male in the home. She would do best in an all-female home with no children. She would make a wonderful companion to a single woman but may do well with more than one woman in the home.

Sunny absolutely loves her walks! She is a great walker and is fine meeting other dogs on her walks. She loves to go to the beach or take long hikes.

It does take her some time before she trusts people, so she would do best with a patient adopter who will let her progress and trust at her own pace. It might take a week before she starts to come out of her shell in a new home and months before she is truly showing her full, beautiful personality. This is very important for her. If you push her too quickly, she'll lose the trust in people that her foster family has worked so hard to earn.

She enjoys the company of other dogs but is a little shy at first when meeting other dogs. Once she knows a dog, she likes to snuggle and would love to play with a playmate! Being in a home with a confident, outgoing dog would be very beneficial for her.

She sleeps through the night and is house trained. Having a secure yard is extremely important for Sunny. She needs a secure front and back yard for her safety. Her potty routine is also made much easier and less stressful on everyone involved if there is a secure yard she can access. She knows how to use a doggie door.

Sunny Delight was found by animal control with a stillborn puppy hanging out of her and she had more stillborn puppies inside. She was taken to Hitchcock Road Animal Services. They were able to get her to a veterinarian for a c-section and to be treated for sepsis. It was touch and go, but she survived. She went through a deep depression after losing her puppies.

We believe she lived on the streets fending for herself for quite a while or was very under-socialized in a previous home because of her semi-feral nature. She has been through a lot, and she really wants to trust people and to love and be loved. It will just take her some time and patience.
