My name is SULLIVAN*!

Sullivan is handsome young boy who is ready to be someone’s best friend for life!! During a week-long stay in a foster home Sullivan did great! Here’s what his foster said:

“Sullivan is a sleepy, quiet boy who loves lounging but also really enjoys long walks where he can see his surroundings and sniff everywhere. He also really enjoys car rides! He is gentle with other dogs and people who will give him attention and makes himself right at home. Sully is housebroken, leash trained (although he can be a puller) and was working on his crate training while with us. Sully prefers to be surrounded by loved ones rather than being left alone. He needs to learn positive associations with the crate and alone time but is a quick learner! While I had him, he picked up on new phrases, hand motions and learned ‘sit’ and ‘paw’.`

Sullivan also spent two months in another home- here’s what we learned from both of his foster families:

- He loves cheese! String cheese, cheese wiz, shredded cheese, really any type of cheese is his favorite snack!
- He doesn’t care for toys but enjoys enrichment activities such searching for treats hidden in blankets or a Kong
- He sleeps sometimes with his arms and legs in the air, often signaling that he wants his belly rubbed.
- He loves to sleep next to you in the bed and will take up the entire bed, so squeeze in before he hops on!
- He’s done great with older kids
- He did well with the resident dog and a visiting smaller dog
- He is VERY smart and as sweet as can be

Sullivan has a gentle personality and tons of fans at the shelter. Here’s what one of them had to say:

“Sullivan is a sweet, sensitive soul who needs a little bit of time to feel comfortable, but once he does, he is the SWEETEST pup you’ll ever meet. I have been taking he and his kennelmate to a play yard and Sullivan spends the whole time by my side, soaking up pets. He’s a leaner too! If I stop petting him too soon (which is always), he gently repositions himself to let me know my job isn’t done. Sullivan is a gentle, polite boy who will do great with a family who will allow him to feel safe. I love him!”

Another fan said:

“Sullivan was the best dog to foster for the day! He was shy at first but warmed up quickly. He was amazing on walks and did not pull on leash. He also saw dogs that were across the street and did not react. He loves to go outside on walks and he loves to meet new people and lay with th
