Sunflower is proof that three legs are plenty for living your best life. This 1-year-old, 52-pound pittie mix was hit by a car and has recovered beautifully in a foster home. These days, she’s much more interested in important things like rolling over for belly rubs, stretching out on a comfy dog bed, and lying in the grass with her nose buried in the flowers. And after a slow introduction, she's also playing well with the resident dog.
Her foster reports she’s a total sweetheart and wonderful roommate. Sunflower is housetrained, respectful with food, has free roam of the house, and is able to relax home alone for several hours. She walks politely on leash and is surprisingly fast on three legs, especially if you’re willing to chase her around the yard.
Sunflower doesn’t hand out her trust to everyone right away. New people can make her nervous, and she needs time to decide you’re a friend. Once she does, she’s all in, soaking up head scratches and chin rubs. She’s looking for a quiet, adult-only home. Her adopter should continue building her confidence through positive, reward-based training.
