Sully is a very sweet baby boy who is house trained and full of energy. Unfortunately, he no longer gets along with my other male dog and I don’t have the means to get him properly trained or the living situation to constantly keep them separated and both dogs are very stressed out so I want him to go to a home where he can be the center of attention. He only fights with the other male when I’m around, they get along great when I’m not there so I know it’s a possessive issue. I also have a female dog that he absolutely adores and they do great together. Sully is one year and 5 months old, he still needs to be neutered (he had an appointment for end of June due to the vet being so booked) so I am more than willing to pay for that when he is adopted. He loves all people and listens very well.
