About Sully

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Sully was rescued just in time from the shelter and, at first, was quiet and a bit sad. Over the past year, he has really blossomed—he is now house trained and enjoys walks on a leash. Sully is a big fan of other dogs and loves their company, though he hasn't had a chance to meet any cats yet. He is gaining confidence every day, but can still be shy around new people, occasionally letting out a fear growl with strangers. With his fosters, Sully has been nothing but sweet and has shown no signs of aggression. This smart, loyal, and loving boy will be an amazing companion in a patient home. Just a little tip—keep those paper towels out of paw's reach, or you may find some creative confetti waiting for you! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
