James P. Sullivan - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

Sullivan is a dog of many nicknames; James P. Sullivan, Sulley, Sulley Man, So So, Dink, Dinkey... No matter what you call him, he's the same sweet, lazy old man of a dog who just wants to snuggle. His family had him all of his life, but were unable to take him due to no fault of his own, as they couldn't find a place to live that allowed him to come with. He lived with many kids ages 3-12, and has been around many other dogs before, so he's an expert on being a great family dog.

Sullivan's hobbies include sunbathing, going on car rides, begging for food, being bathed with a water hose, and talking back. If he's got a problem with something, you will absolutely hear it from him, especially during nail trims and when he's put in the bathtub. His owner remarked he does poorly when left alone, and does poorly being left in a crate, which may need to be addressed and worked with while in the home. It's easy to tell, but he's a big fan of food, and we're working on taking steps to get him down to a healthier weight that'll need to be continued in his new home. Sulley will thrive in a family with kids who will love him for his big personality and laid back presence. We highly suggest doing a Meet-and-Greet with the entire family - and possibly even taking him out on a Paw Pass - to see if your home is the right fit for this wonderful older fella!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
