(December 19, 2025) — This poor boy was found abandoned, unfortunately. Through all that, he has a bright spirit and has not given up hope for a happy future. Sonny is a four-year-old Pit Bull Mix, weighs seventy-two pounds and has the biggest heart, even bigger than the Grinch at the end of the movie.
There are so many great things to know about this guy, so here we go. Sonny is very gentle, affectionate as can be, loves people and dogs, is a social butterfly, extremely intelligent, very responsive, loyal, playful, and he’s also a big, eager beaver who wants to learn and connect with anyone he meets. Wow, this guy has a LOT going for him. His side job will keep you laughing with his quick wit and fun-loving playful moments.
Sonny will bond to you like Gorilla Glue and never leave your side. I have to say he plays quite nicely with other dogs he meets, follows directions, and responds when asked a question.
You may or may not know that animals are intuitive. Sonny has such a special gift, where he feels people’s emotions and reassures you when you need it most. Because of this gift, he can get anxious when unsure or alone. To help him with that, Sonny is currently in a Board & Train program, and he is learning and building confidence skills every day. He is a dog like no other, winning the hearts of the people who have been around him. He spreads joy to all.
So, why not show love and support to him and brighten his day and life by providing the absolute best home he can ever have? Sonny will bring you years and years of joy and love. It doesn’t get any better than that!
