Fall River’s Sunshine is a social and playful puppy that’s bouncy and goofy
Meet Fall River Forever Paws Pet of the Week Sunshine!. Sunshine is an eight-month-old lab mix that weighs about 40lbs. He’s your typical bouncy, goofy puppy that would do best with an active family that can keep up with his boundless, limitless puppy energy. He does well with other dogs so long as they can either match his energy or tolerate it!
