SONNIE - CHIHUAHUA / BORDER TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Border Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 550. Meet Sonnie — a sweet, gentle soul with the softest heart. He’s a shy little guy at first, but once he knows he’s safe, his affectionate nature shines. Sonnie loves nothing more than being close to his people — following them from room to room, curling up on the couch beside them, or burrowing under a blanket for a cozy nap. He’s house-trained and politely lets you know when he needs to go outside. He walks nicely on a leash and absolutely adores stroller rides — it’s one of his favorite things! Sonnie is a smart boy who learns quickly and is settling nicely into his routine. He’s more comfortable with women at first and takes a bit longer to trust men, but with patience and kindness, he warms up beautifully. He’s not much into toys, but he’ll never say no to a treat or a good snuggle. His signature move is the adorable “army crawl,” especially when scooting from one lap to another. Sonnie sleeps soundly through the night and loves spending his days close to his people. His least favorite thing is being left alone, but with love and reassurance, he’ll feel more secure over time. This little lovebug is looking for someone to share his big heart with — and once you earn his trust, you’ll have a devoted best friend for life. Sonnie is from Texas.
