More about Sonny

Meet Sonny boy, our friendly, active and intelligent shepherd! As he is such a clever boy, Sonny will love to be mentally challenged from interactive toys, learning tricks and brain games to keep him engaged and happy.

Sonny is looking for an active family to go on long walks and exciting adventures in open spaces, countryside, woodlands, as busy roadside walks can be a bit overwhelming for him. A calm home would suit Sonny best, and he has previously enjoyed living with teenagers. A large, secure garden would be a huge bonus to work on recall, burn off energy, and enjoy off-lead time without the distractions of wildlife. He is also getting into the World Cup spirit and his favourite game is chasing footballs round the garden!

Sonny has not had a lot of experience with other dogs generally and is still working on his social skills, so would be best suited as the only dog in the house whilst he continues his training. He would really benefit from mature dog friends to go on walks with to support with this. Sonny is an affectionate companion who enjoys gentle, calm interaction – he’s especially fond of soothing massages and belly rubs! Although not suitable to live with cats, he does sometimes act like one and likes to lounge on the back of the sofa...
