Description: 
Sunny is an eight year old red male shiba who came to us on 6/22. His owner had to move and were not able to take him. He’s a friendly boy who is good with children, adults, and the vet. He will play with a squeaky toy and is a gentle dog. Everyone that has met Sunny, has found him to be extremely nice, if not even a bit shy. He’s good with children and other dogs. Some dogs he can be friendly towards and others he acts aloof.Sunny likes to know what you’re up to - his foster dad Andrew said, “If we are in another room however, and the door is closed, he will howl. It’s not a full-out howl, but kind of a half-cry- half-howl. (Kind of sounds like a Walrus) It can barely be heard through a closed a door.” He will also follow you if you leave the room. From the time Sunny came in to foster care until now, he has lost about 20lbs and is down to 46 lbs. Sunny’s coat looks great and he had his teeth cleaned and was neutered.Nothing really bothers Sunny except for the oven. He is absolutely terrified of it. When it is on, Sunny visibly shakes and gets as far away as possible. Beyond that, nothing really phases him. Sunny is a big fan of tennis balls. He has great energy now, and runs around in the courtyard. Overall, Sunny is a very wonderful Shiba. His fosters love having him around. You can read more about Sunny in his/her section of our blog.
