Sully

Sully is such a special boy who has truly blossomed into the best version of himself. As some of you may know, Sully was moved to my house to be fostered so he could undergo behavioral training. He was uncomfortable and untrusting of just about everyone and everything in his life. We didn’t know much about his background since he was brought into rescue as a stray. He struggled immensely but Save a Yorkie Rescue had hope that we could help this guy be the best dog that he can be! I was instructed to not have him advertised or on the website until I was confident that he had changed his behaviors and was a safe dog to adopt out. After a couple months of consistent training and trust building, I was happy to announce that he was ready to be put on the website. Kelsie and Pat saw this the very next morning and immediately reached out to me. That was fast! We had a great conversation about all the training Sully has been through and they were confident that they could take this on. We scheduled a Meet & Greet and everything was absolutely perfect! Sully snuggled right up to Pat on the floor and was on his back getting belly rubs practically the whole time. It was safe to say that Kelsie and Pat fell in love with Sully, and Sully fell in love with them! I had previously mentioned to them that Sully likes all the red toys in my house and they were sweet enough to bring him a red toy. Kelsie and Pat asked if I’d be able to hold onto Sully for an extra two weeks because they were traveling and wanted Sully to have a smooth transition where they could consistently be there for him. Given Sully’s history and how awesome he was with them, we could not say no! Plus, it gave me an extra two weeks to savor my Sully-time before he was off to his forever home. Sure enough, two weeks later, Kelsie and Pat swung by on their way home from their travels to pick him up. Sully was just as happy to see them again and he trotted off into their car with no problem! As they drove off, Sully and I made eye contact from the window and all I could do was just wish him the best of luck on this new chapter of his life. This is when the tears started flowing, of course. I am so happy for and proud of him for overcoming such a challenging behavioral issue so that he can live the rest of his life in happiness and peace. I will truly miss him and he will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you Kelsie and Pat for giving this boy the second chance at life that he deserves! Congratulations Sully!!!
