Hi! I’m Sonza.
I’m an estimated 3-year-old Border Collie mix, and I’m 24 pounds of sweetness. My foster family says I’d look my best with about 10 more pounds, but I’m a pretty picky eater. I like what I like, and if dinner doesn’t impress me… I might just wait and see what tomorrow brings.
I’m fully potty trained, sleep through the whole night, and I know how to use my kennel. I won’t pretend I’m excited to go in there, but once I’m settled, I’m perfectly happy.
I’m not really into toys. I know, I know… people keep offering them, but I’d rather spend my time hanging out with you. Tell me I’m a good girl, give me a few pets, and you’ve already won me over. Praise is my favorite reward.
Speaking of pets… I take cuddling very seriously. If I want more attention, I’ll gently tap you with my front paws. If that doesn’t work, I might wrap my paws around your arm just to make sure you understand that cuddle time isn’t over yet.
You’ll probably notice that I like to follow my people everywhere. Need to grab something from another room? Great! I was actually headed that way too. I’m definitely more of a “people dog” than a “dog’s dog,” although I’m happy to share my home with other friendly dogs and kids. Cats? That’s still a mystery.
When it’s time to relax, you’ll usually find me stretched out on the couch or tucked underneath the table. Those are my favorite spots, and I’m pretty committed to them.
I do shed, so regular brushing will help keep me looking my best. Think of it as another excuse for us to spend time together.
I’m not the kind of girl who’s going to chase tennis balls all afternoon, and that’s okay. I’d much rather be your little sidekick—the one who follows you around, leans in for hugs, reminds you when it’s time for affection, and quietly keeps you company wherever life takes us.
If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal best friend with a few adorable opinions and a whole lot of love to give, I think we’d make a pretty great team.
Love,
Sonza
Ps. They told me I’d need people to apply, so I guess I can interview you myself! Apply here: https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
