NAME: Captain Sully BREED: Schnauzer mix SEX: male COLOR: black AGE: Est DOB 11/2022 WEIGHT: 23 lbs NOTES FROM FOSTER FAMILY: Meet Sully! Sully is an almost 4-year-old Schnauzer mix weighing 24 pounds, and he's searching for the person willing to give him the chance he's been waiting for. Before moving into foster care, Sully spent far too long watching other dogs find homes while wondering when his turn would come. His foster family saw something special in him and decided to give him a chance. Within just a week, Sully began to blossom. The shy, uncertain dog they first brought home quickly learned he was safe. Today, Sully spends his days playing with his foster brothers and sisters, running around the yard, enjoying walks, carrying around his favorite soft toys, and keeping a close eye on the people he loves. He especially enjoys snacks, outdoor adventures, and spending time with his canine friends. Sully gets along very well with other dogs and would likely love a home with a playful canine companion. He seems happiest when he has dog friends to run and play with. While Sully enjoys being close to his people, he's not a dog who needs to be in your lap all day. Instead, he prefers to be nearby. You'll find him at the foot of the bed, beside you on the couch, or resting near your feet while you go about your day. Being close is his way of saying, I love you. Like many dogs who have experienced uncertainty, Sully can be cautious with new people and is sometimes more skeptical of men at first. He also has occasional moments where something seems to trigger old fears, causing him to become anxious or unsure. When that happens, Sully needs patience, understanding, and a little time to work through it. The good news is that once he feels safe, his true personality shines. And that personality is wonderful. Sully enjoys birthday parties, walks, yard time, toys, naps, and simply being part of the family. He sleeps happily on the bed with his foster humans but is also content relaxing in his crate. His foster family describes him as a pretty well-rounded pup who has made incredible progress since leaving the shelter. The ideal home for Sully would have a fenced yard, another friendly dog, no small children, and people who understand that trust is something earned, not rushed. Sully doesn't need someone to rescue him. He needs someone to believe in him. His foster family already does. Now he's hoping his forever family will too.
