Start your journey together! Apply now. Sullivan is a handsome young boy eagerly waiting to become someone’s lifelong best friend. He spent a week in a foster home where he really shined; his foster raved about his calm demeanor, describing him as a sleepy, quiet companion who loves lounging but truly enjoys long walks exploring his surroundings. Car rides are another favorite for Sullivan, and he is always gentle around other dogs and people, making himself right at home with anyone who gives him attention. Sullivan is housebroken and leash trained (though he can pull a bit), and he was steadily improving with crate training during his foster stay. While he prefers being around loved ones instead of left alone, he’s a smart pup—quick to learn new phrases, hand motions, and commands like ‘sit’ and ‘paw’. Sullivan also stayed with another foster family for two months, where he proved himself as an easygoing companion. He loves all types of cheese, enrichment activities over toys (such as treat searching), and often dozes with his limbs in the air, begging for a belly rub. He craves sleeping nearby, often taking up the whole bed, so best to claim your space early! Sullivan has done well with older kids and resident or visiting dogs, showing his sweet and gentle nature. Staff and volunteers describe him as a sweet, sensitive soul who just needs a little time to feel comfortable—then reveals himself as the ultimate affectionate pup. He loves attention, leaning into pets, and politely signaling when he wants more snuggles. Another fan highlighted his great leash manners, calmness around other dogs on walks, and affectionate temperament. Sullivan also shares his kennel with ease and is social during playgroups at the shelter. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
