Hi, new friend! Sunflower here.
I've learned that three legs and a soft heart are all you really need to live well, and I'm rather good at both.
I'm the calm one (it's in writing). A quiet home and a patient hand and I'm yours.
I'm still young and full of beans, with a whole lot of love (and the occasional zoomie) saved up for the right person.
I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.
I do come with a few special needs, but please don't let that scare you off — I just need a patient friend, and I pay it back tenfold.
I've been holding down the fort in Oakland, hoping someone like you would wander by.
Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.
With a little luck, Halloween could be my first one in a real home — possibly with you, or with someone you send my way.
Anyway, thank you for reading all the way to the end. Not everyone does, and I noticed. — Sunflower

About Sunflower
Sunflower is proof that three legs are plenty for living your best life. This 1-year-old, 52-pound pittie mix was hit by a car and has recovered beautifully in a foster home. These days, she's much more interested in important things like rolling over for belly rubs, stretching out on a comfy dog bed, and lying in the grass with her nose buried in the flowers. And after a slow introduction, she's also playing well with the resident dog. Her foster reports she's a total sweetheart and wonderful roommate. Sunflower is housetrained, respectful with food, has free roam of the house, and is able to relax home alone for several hours. She walks politely on leash and is surprisingly fast on three legs, especially if you're willing to chase her around the yard. Sunflower doesn't hand out her trust to everyone right away. New people can make her nervous, and she needs time to decide you're a friend. Once she does, she's all in, soaking up head scratches and chin rubs. She's looking for a quiet, adult-only home. Her adopter should continue building her confidence through positive, reward-based training. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.
