Description
Hi there! I’m Sonrisa – a sweet, five-year-old Shepherd/Husky mix weighing about 46 pounds. I’m healthy, not yet spayed, and so ready to find my forever family!
Even after braving the horrific conditions at ESLR, I’m a happy-go-lucky girl with a heart full of love. I have lots of energy when I’m outside and enjoy playing and going on long walks, but I’m just as content curling up on the couch for snuggles with my favorite people. I’m gentle, always wagging my tail, and I’m not much of a barker. My biggest goal in life? To love and be loved.
As far as my skills are concerned, I’m fully potty-trained, crate-trained, and I walk beautifully on a leash. I’m a smart girl, too – I already know my basic commands and learn quickly. I’m generally a relaxed pup and do well in all kinds of environments, from busy restaurants to homes with loud kids. I only have a little separation anxiety, which gets better as I settle in. While I’m not sure how I feel about cats, I love being around kiddos and other dogs.
Snuggling is one of my favorite hobbies (anytime, anywhere!), along with playing with toys and doggie friends. I love my walks but also enjoy lounging around the house. I’m the perfect balance of playful and chill, and I’m incredibly loving. I smile a lot, wag my tail nonstop, and bring sunshine wherever I go. I just want to be close to my humans and soak up all the love!
Because I’m so easy-going, I could be happy in many types of homes – especially an active one. I’d make a wonderful family dog, but I’d also do fine in a home without kids. I’d love doggie siblings, but I’d be perfectly happy as your one and only, too. I’d prefer a home where someone is around most of the day, since I thrive on companionship, but with time and comfort, I can learn to be alone for longer stretches.
If you’re looking for a loving, joyful, and loyal companion, I just might be your girl! My adoption fee is $250 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/. You can also check me out on Instagram at @schneider.c.j.
