About Sulley

Meet Sulley! This charming five-year-old Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix currently resides in Fairview, NC. With his golden coat accented by white, he brings warmth and joy wherever he goes. At 55 pounds, Sulley loves to snuggle up next to his favorite person on the couch, making him a perfect lap companion. He thrives on sniffing adventures and enjoys playing with chew toys, especially after a good rain. Sulley has received professional training and understands basic commands like sit, stay, and drop. He generally manages short periods alone but benefits from structured routines and mental enrichment to feel secure. However, he does experience anxiety and reactivity around other dogs and sudden noises, which requires careful management. His future home should be an adult-only environment, free of other pets, where he can feel safe. Currently, Sulley is healthy, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He requires consistent medication for his anxiety, including Clomipramine and Gabapentin, and needs a patient adopter familiar with handling anxious dogs. For the right person, Sulley is a loyal companion, ready to share laughter and love. Could he be the snuggly friend you’ve been searching for? Click apply to start the adoption process.
