My story

Who could not use a little sunshine in their lives? We would say that everyone does. Bring the sunshine indoors with our loveable and sweet girl Sunshine! Her golden coat is appealing and even brighter in the sun. Sunshine and her sister Star are 5-month-old Labrador retriever mixes. Both found as strays with a second chance to shine in the lives of their forever families. Sunshine is making a positive and joyous impression with her endearing personality. She weighs 21 pounds currently but is expected to be a medium size dog of up to 60 pounds when fully grown. She has a bit of a shy side but will bloom to her lovely self in short amount of time with kindness and love. Sunshine is a great gal with a zest for meeting people, other dogs and children. Her playful puppy nature is a treat for all who join her in her escapes of fun and adventure. She has not had the opportunity to meet a cat since coming into rescue so her relationship with a feline is not known at this time. All of her house, crate and leash training are in progress. She is working hard on all of her skills so she can impress her forever family. As with all puppies, Sunshine is full of curiosity and wonderment and is ready to grow from adorable puppy to an amazing dog with the right guidance and patience. She will need a home with someone who has the time, desire and energy to train and socialize her so that she can become the perfect lifelong companion.Just like stepping out into the sun and soaking up the warmth, you can step into the presence of Sunshine and soak up the warmth of her love. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Sunshine is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.August 16, 2025, 8:28 am

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sunshine, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
