My name is Sonny (pronounced Sunny) and I am the Baby of RADAR at only 3 years old!I am a beautiful brindle boy who loves a quick nap and an even more mad 5 minutes! I would love a big garden or 2 long walks a day and lots of toys! They are my favourite! Especially squeaky ones!I love to sniff outdoors and play with other doggies if they aren’t too grumpy towards my bouncy nature! I can sit and fetch and would adore a good run around every day especially with my future favourite hooman(s)!I was in a home for 2 years and gave back up as my hoomans couldnt look after me anymore and will be loyal by your side, I really want to continue with my training especially when treats are involved! I loves them! I dont like living with other dogs Unless of course there’s a doggy friend out there who can match my energy! And I need my own space!I am very inquisitive and i’m not fussed by those small fluffy friends that meow and hiss, if anything what are they, why dont they play? I don’t like those furry things in the woods though, why do they have large bushy tails and why can’t I climb a tree to get to them?I have a loving playful pushy nature, I think I am smaller than I am and can’t wait to play with some new hoomans!Can you help me begin a new life with lots of playtime?

About Sonny

What life with Sonny looks like

Sonny is a large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at RADAR Rescue in Darfield.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sonny, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sonny?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. RADAR Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sonny on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sonny if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — RADAR Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Sonny already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sonny isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with RADAR Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sonny and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
