Story
***Currently located Downey, CA*** Aloha… my name is Sully I’m just a little puppy, searching for my furever home… could that be with you? Before I was even born, life was already uncertain. My mom, Sassy, was out there on her own, doing her best to survive. Kind people in the community helped feed her, but living on the streets is never easy—especially when you’re carrying eight tiny babies. Five girls… three boys… and one very brave mama trying to keep us all alive. She did everything she could for us. Then, something amazing happened… a kind woman stepped in to make sure my mom stayed safe and fed while she cared for us. And when we were about seven weeks old, another angel helped us find a foster home. Just in time, too, because the cold and rain were coming. That’s when everything changed. For the first time, I felt what it was like to be warm… to be safe… to be inside a home. Now I sleep in a cozy place, run around outside playing, and then come back in to rest without worrying about what comes next. I’ve learned how good it feels to be loved. One of my favorite things to do is put my little paws on my foster mom's shoulders and hold on as tight as I can. I don’t just cuddle… I hold on.  Because deep down, I think I’ve always been waiting for someone to hold onto.  I love people, I love playing in the water. I’m discovering all the simple joys of being a puppy, belly rubs, sniffari adventures, playtime, running around, playing with the other puppies and even some big dogs and just being close to my human. I’ve been to the vet, and I’m healthy, up to date on my vaccines, and even neutered. My foster mom says I’m a very good boy… I’m trying my best to learn everything I can. I’m ready now… ready for my furever home.A home where I won’t have to wonder what tomorrow looks like.A home where I can love someone for the rest of my life. My mom is small (about 14 lbs), and my dad, well, he’s the fluffy white guy in my pictures who looks like a poodle or poodle mix. Even though I am about the third biggest puppy, I still think I will be closer to my dad's size which is still considered small.  All I need now… is YOU. I hope I’m the one you’ve been looking for, because I’ve been waiting for you. If you feel that little tug on your heart, please click the Adopt button and fill out an application so we can meet. I can’t wait to finally be home.

I’ve learned how good it feels to be loved.  I’m a happy, loving little boy who adores people. I enjoy playing in the water, chasing toys, and having fun with other puppies, or even just playing by myself. I live for belly rubs, little adventures, and being close to my human. I’m also crate trained and sleep quietly through the night. I actually really like my crate and my toys too. One of my favorite things is be held and carried around by my Foster Mom,  which makes me feel soooo loved. I’ve been to the vet, and I’m healthy, up to date on my vaccines, and even neutered. My foster mom says I’m a very good boy.  I’m trying my best to learn everything I can.

My mom is only about 14 lbs, and my dad (the fluffy white guy in my pictures who looks like a poodle or a poodle mix) is just a little bigger than her. I’m actually the smallest of my litter, so I’ll likely be the perfect little companion size. All I need now… is YOU.
