My story

PLEASE NOTE: The first step in the process is to complete an adoption application on our website roversretreat.org In December of 2023 we began a massive effort to save 20+ Bernese mountain dog mixes off of a hoarding property in New Mexico. They all came to us terrified of everything. Shut down after being neglected and living outside their whole lives. Almost all have now been adopted and are doing so well with their furever homes, but there are just a couple boys left. Meet Sunny. Sunny was part of a litter of 6 that came to us when they were just 8 weeks old. All of his siblings have been adopted, but he has remained in rescue while we worked through some medical concerns. He was diagnosed a few months ago with irritable bowel disease. He has been on a prescription food and medication the last couple months and he has slowly but surely begun to put on more weight, and we are seeing further improvement, although flareups can and will still happen sporadically. Sunny is now a year old and we’re finally starting to feel he is more stable and ready to begin the search for a committed forever family! Because of his background he is still very fearful of new people initially. He will bark and run away, but he warms up fairly quickly as long as people ignore him and let him come to them. He LOVES other dogs and because of his timidness of people, a confident playmate and mentor dog is an absolute must for him. He is highly food motivated and although he cannot have anything other than his prescription food, he doesn’t know the difference and will do anything for a kibble! He is super smart and eager to learn new things. Sunny needs a very patient, committed home with the ability to provide the following: Commitment to his ongoing (costly) care for his IBD A playful, confident mentor dog Patience helping him adjust to new environments and people Once he’s comfy with you he is the most goofy, affectionate, playful guy. He just needs the right support system to set him up for success. If you’re interested in adopting Sunny please head to our website roversretreat.org to apply 📍Sunny is currently being fostered in Redondo Beach, California but can be adopted anywhere as long as you can come to SoCal and drive home. We don’t ship any of our dogs PLEASE NOTE: Sunny is being fostered in Redondo Beach and his adoption fee is $800*

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