ng busy streets like she was late for an important meeting. She ended up at a local animal shelter, but sadly no one came to claim this golden ray of happiness. That’s when we stepped in. We brought her in for her spay day and, after removing what felt like several pounds of dirt and matting, discovered an absolute gem underneath. The glow-up was real, folks.
Sunflower is a young pup with excellent intentions and questionable body control. She truly wants to be polite, but her wiggly enthusiasm and mild anxiety sometimes take the wheel. She knows basic commands, listens closely, and works very hard to be the goodest girl — even when her legs are doing their own thing.
Being left alone is not her favorite hobby. If given the chance, she may redecorate. We’ve been working hard on crate training and she’s making good progress, but she will need to be crated when left alone, currently for no more than about 5 hours. She will voice her opinions when you leave, so due to her anxiety, shared walls are not recommended unless you enjoy apologizing to neighbors with baked goods. At night, she sleeps peacefully on a bed right next to us like the loyal little shadow she is.
When it comes to playtime, Sunflower plays BIG. If she thinks another dog wants to play, she goes all in — full enthusiasm, no brakes. She would do best with another dog who matches her same “pizzazz for life,” or with a human who is fully committed to meeting her exercise needs. She has a lot of young-dog energy and thrives on structure, routine, and training (and probably snacks). She probably would not like the companion of a feline friend....she sometimes thinks my chi is a playtoy.
Leashes are… confusing. Sunflower is still figuring those out, so a secure, fenced-in yard would be ideal while she continues her leash education. She also has very long legs and doesn’t always realize how tall she is, which means she occasionally bumps into furniture, walls, and the concept of personal space. Because of her enthusiastic puppy antics, young children should be supervised to prevent accidental bowling-pin situations.
Sunflower is affectionate, joyful, hilarious, and full of potential. With patience, consistency, and a sense of humor, she’ll grow into an amazing companion — and she promises to keep life interesting.
