Sully - Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Hi, I’m Sully.

I’m 9 years old, and up until recently, I had a home. Unfortunately, some unexpected circumstances changed everything, and now I’ve found myself living in a kennel. I’ll be honest... I’m pretty terrified here. I don’t really understand what happened or why everything I knew suddenly disappeared.

I’m looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home with someone who understands that I might need a little time. I’m not asking for much, just someone patient who will go slowly, let me come around at my own pace, and show me that I’m safe again.

Once you get to know me, I’m actually a pretty easygoing little guy. I’m completely potty trained, I can be trusted home alone without destroying anything, and I’m perfectly happy just hanging out with you. I LOVE going for car rides, and if you happen to have chicken... well, we’ll probably become best friends pretty quickly.

My ideal life? Riding shotgun with my person, coming home to a comfy spot, and having lazy Sundays basically every day. I’ve already done the crazy puppy years. I’m just looking for somewhere peaceful to land.

Because I’m feeling pretty scared right now, a home without small children would be best for me.

I know I’m not a puppy anymore, but at 8 years old, I still have so much love and so many car rides left in me. I just need someone willing to give me the chance to feel like myself again.

Love,
Sully ??

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.
