A volunteer writes:  This handsome mushy face boy steps carefully out of his kennel and off we go.   He shows off his housetraining skills and his nice leash walking skills and, of course, his Bulldog waddle. Too cute!!  Surrendered by his owner as they are moving where Sonny is not welcome we’re told that he’s friendly and outgoing with strangers,
loves children and when the kids friends come over he loves playing with them.  He initiates play at the dog run, is well behaved when left home alone, loves car rides, long naps, and baths running into the bathroom and waiting to be put into the tub.  Sonny was fun to spend time with and while he didn’t solicit petting he didn’t turn me down either!  His eyes are cloudy with glaucoma, and he occasionally has an allergy outbreak, but he’s been well taken care of and it shows.   He’s been described as cuddly, friendly, playful and a big baby and his favorite activity is to sleep all day.  If a couch potato dog will complete your family it sounds like Sonny is your man…er, dog.   The perfect family dog, he’ll be happy with some playtime, easy walks,  a soft bed, and long days settling in with you to binge on Netflix.  Sounds pretty good to me!
