Sunny
Sunny is a handsome young Lurcher who is looking for a patient and understanding home with a good routine to avoid surprises. He forms strong bonds and has shown to enjoy meeting new people both in the home and out on walks. Sunny has some experience living in a home, and we know he loves nothing more than relaxing in his bed by the TV. When he wants a fuss, he’ll be sure to let you know about it with a little nudge!
Whilst out on walks, Sunny can become overwhelmed if it’s busy, and he needs patience and ongoing support building his confidence outside of the home. What Sunny does enjoy is a calm country walk where he can walk nicely on the lead and great people and dogs at his leisure.
Sunny would thrive with owners who are willing to give him the time, structure and reassurance he needs to feel safe and secure.
