As we count down to the 75th Watermelon Festival, we’re continuing our watermelon-themed spotlight on some of our amazing adoptable animals!

Today’s featured pup is ☀️ Sunny ☀️ — and just like a perfect summer day, he’s impossible to ignore!

Sunny is full of life, fun, and personality. This energetic boy has been waiting patiently for his forever home, and we’re hoping his watermelon spotlight helps him find it. He would love an active family that can keep up with his adventurous spirit and give him plenty of room to run, play, and be his happy self.

☀️ Great with kids and adventurous
🐶 Neutered and vaccinated
🐾 Does well with most dogs (meet-and-greet recommended)
🐱 Not aggressive with cats, but due to his high-energy play style, a home with dog-savvy cats who are comfortable around active dogs would be best
❤️ Ready to find his forever family

If you’re attending the Watermelon Festival, don’t forget to stop by the shelter—just a short drive away—and meet Sunny and all of our adoptable residents!
