It’s all in the name — Sunbeam brings warmth, light, and just the right amount of chaos to your life. This smart, affectionate girl is equal parts athlete, goofball, and snuggle buddy. She’s got a brain that never quits and a body that’s happiest in motion — whether she’s running, fetching, wrestling with her dog friends, or diving headfirst into a pond she swears looked solid.
Sunbeam’s foster says she’s blossomed into a confident, cuddly, and hilarious companion. She’s a quick study (she learned “shake” in one sitting and now offers her paw for snacks) and loves to show off new tricks. She’s great with other dogs — from structured playdates to dog park hangs — and friendly with everyone she meets, including kids.
She’s house trained and getting more comfortable being home alone, learning that her people always come back. Once her daily adventures are over, she’s happy to chew on a Benebone, solve a puzzle toy, or melt into a nap next to you.
Sunbeam would thrive with an active adopter who loves adventures and brain games as much as couch time and cuddles. She’s a bright, bouncy girl ready to light up your life — and your living room.
