My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Breed: Chihuahua Mix
Age: 6 years
Gender: Male (Neutered)
Size: Small, Approx. 10 lbs

About Sully:
Sully is a resilient, intelligent little guy who has made incredible progress since joining our shelter family. While he initially struggled with fear-based behaviors, including aggression and resource guarding, he has shown such growth through patience and positive reinforcement training. Sully is a smart boy who is already mastering leash communication and verbal cues. Although he’s still building his confidence, he’s becoming more comfortable in new environments and learning to trust the world around him. He thrives in calm, structured settings where he feels safe and secure, and his loving personality continues to bloom as he forms deeper connections with his human companions.

Ideal Home:
Sully is searching for a quiet, patient home with a dog owner who has experience with fear-based behaviors and is ready to continue his journey of growth. He would do best in a home without young children or frequent visitors, as he can be fearful of unfamiliar faces. Sully would prefer to be the only pet in the household, as he has had negative experiences with other dogs in the past. A consistent routine and structured training environment will help Sully build the confidence he needs to shine.

Training and Skills:
Sully has been making wonderful strides with his training! He’s learned basic obedience, walks nicely on a leash, and responds well to verbal commands like “sit” and “stay.” He is crate-trained and housebroken, and with continued positive reinforcement, Sully will only keep improving. As he builds trust, he is becoming more confident in his new surroundings.

Favourites:
Sully loves his cozy blankets and finds comfort in a soft spot to rest. He also enjoys small training treats, which help reinforce his positive behaviors.

Dislikes:
Sully can be wary of unfamiliar people and situations, which is understandable given his past experiences. He is protective of his belongings, including food and toys, and may show resource guarding tendencies. He also prefers not to interact with other dogs and is happiest as the only pet in his home.

Health Information:
Sully is neutered, up-to-date on his vaccinations, and in good health. He’s ready to find a patient, loving home where he can continue to blossom into the happy, confident companion he’s meant to be.
