Story
Sully was brought to the Corona Animal Shelter as a stray in November 2024. He was limping and seen by a vet. It was determined that he had a injured front left leg, specifically the elbow, that wasn’t healing properly. Sully was very active and did not seem to be in extreme pain. It ws determined his options were either going to an orthopedic surgeon to fix the elbow, or to have the leg amputated. Dues to budgetary constraints, ampuation was chosen and performed in December 2024. A medical foster who is a PAWS member took care of Sully during his post op recovery and is his current foster under PAWS.
Sully is considered a “tripod dog” because he only has three legs. However, that does not stop him from walking, running or playing with other dogs. He gets around surprisingly well on 3 legs. Sully was introduced to his foster’s 5 other dogs. He reacted initally to the males, but got along immediately with the females. It took a few weeks of separating the males before they became acclimated. He lives in a house with 5 dogs and 4 cats. He can be inside with cats, but requires some supervision. Because Sully is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix, supervion when around other pets, small children is suggested intially.
Sully has lots of energy and wants to play hard with the other dogs. As a result, he sometimes doesn’t know his limitations and sprains his front leg. So it is strongly suggested his activity with other dogs be monitored/restricted so he doesn’t injure himself. He is currently on a vet prescribed joint medication. Sully is also a bit “mouthy,” meaning he likes to lick and softly gnaw on you. That can be controlled through verbal comands and providing periodic chew treats, toys.
Sully has a cool expression with his almond eyes and pointy ears. He is really a special dog despite his handicap. He’s an excellent watchdog and companion. You’ll know when the mail person or trash trucks come by because he barks at them.

My Personality
Affectionate, active, energetic, loves attention and treats, can be excitable, a little mouthy and jumpy, but settles down, very sweet boy with an expressive face. Missing hi front leg does not impair his ability to walk, run and play.
