My story

Meet Sunshine – A Shy Soul with a Heart of Gold True to her name, Sunshine is a gentle ray of light just waiting to brighten the life of someone special. This 1-year-old Terrier mix, with her soft golden fur and even softer heart, may be shy at first—but once you earn her trust, you’ll find a loyal, loving companion unlike any other. Sunshine came into our care at HSSM on April 21st, 2025, after being found in Gulfport by one of our compassionate animal control officers. When she first arrived, she was absolutely terrified—and who could blame her? The world had been a scary place. But little by little, this brave girl is starting to find her footing, showing us glimpses of the sweet, soulful pup we know she truly is. Though the shelter life can still feel overwhelming for her, Sunshine has begun to blossom with patience and kindness. She’s still learning how to walk confidently on a leash and prefers to take things slow—but with some gentle encouragement (and maybe a little baby talk), she’ll warm up and trot alongside you, trusting more with every step. Sunshine’s calm nature, petite frame, and gentle demeanor make her a perfect match for a quiet, loving home where she can continue to grow at her own pace. She’s up to date on vaccines, spayed, and microchipped. While she is heartworm positive, our HSSM clinic offers affordable, adopter-friendly treatment plans to ensure she gets everything she needs to thrive. Sunshine is the kind of dog who doesn’t just enter your home—she enters your heart. If you`re looking for a soft, sweet spirit to add warmth and love to your life, come meet Sunshine at HSSM. One look into her hopeful eyes, and you’ll know she’s the one.

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.
