Sullivan - Shih Tzu and Poodle Dog for Adoption

Meet Sullivan – Your New Best Friend!

**Breed:** Shih-Poo
**Birthday:** May 14, 2026
**Gender:** Male

Meet Sullivan, an adorable Shih-Poo puppy with a big heart and an even bigger love for his people! This sweet little boy is happiest when he's by your side, following his favorite humans everywhere they go. If you're looking for a loyal companion who loves cuddles, companionship, and being part of the family, Sullivan might just be your perfect match!

Sullivan gets along wonderfully with **cats, other dogs, and children of all ages**, making him a lovely addition to a family ready to give him the love and care he deserves. He already knows some basic commands and sleeps through the night. While he's still working on his potty training, he does use puppy pads to pee and will need a patient family to help him continue learning to go outside.

**A Special Note About Sullivan's Health**

Sullivan has a heart condition called **PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus)**. His corrective surgery is being scheduled as soon as possible. He is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations and has a clean fecal test.

Because of his heart condition, Sullivan is not a good candidate for crate training right now. Becoming overly worked up and stressed is not good for his heart, so he needs a calm, understanding environment where he can feel safe and comfortable.

**A Few Things to Love About Sullivan:**

* Sweet, affectionate, and people-oriented

* Loves cuddling and following his humans everywhere

* Gets along with cats and other dogs

* Friendly with children of all ages

* Sleeps through the night

* Knows basic commands

* Uses puppy pads but is still learning to potty outside

Sullivan will need a family who understands his medical needs, can provide a peaceful environment, and is committed to helping him through his upcoming surgery and recovery (fully covered by the rescue). In return, you'll have a devoted little companion who wants nothing more than to love you and be loved.

** Sullivan will be available for adoption soon!**

Could you be the special person who gives this precious boy the safe, loving future he deserves?
