Your forecast today calls for golden hair, enthusiastic affection, and a strong chance of getting wet if there’s somewhere to swim. I’m 19-month-old Sunny ~ still very much a big puppy. I love fetch, hikes, toys, and water. Judging by my photo, towel service should probably be included in my adoption package. One of the nicest things I’m discovering is that adventures are even better with someone to share them. I’m becoming increasingly interested in listening, checking in, and following my person’s guidance. My behaviourist loves seeing that connection grow and I’m looking for someone who will keep building it with me. Now for a few clouds in the forecast. I’m strong, boisterous, and still learning manners. I can jump when excited, get carried away during play and forget that another dog’s “enough thank you” means the game is over. I need someone who steps in before my enthusiasm takes over. My previous family reported food guarding, including growling and showing teeth. I need space at mealtimes, with children and other pets kept away from my food and valued chews. My improving toy sharing doesn’t mean this concern has disappeared but it is better. I also need suitable things to chew and supervision indoors. Left loose and unattended, I’ve chewed belongings, baseboards, and walls. Apparently “bringing sunshine indoors” does not include opening up the drywall. Household freedom and time alone will need to grow gradually. My best match is a home with people home most of the time who understand a powerful youngster with plenty still to learn. Adults would be the easiest fit. Older children or teens may be considered. I could live with another canine buddy as long as meal and treat times are supervised. Cats haven’t been assessed. I promise to bring you sunshine and smiles every day. I hope you’ll consider me so we can weather the growing-up part together.
