About Sully:

I am a four-year-old male brindle boxer mix. Despite my past, I'm incredibly loving and affectionate with my people. My foster mom calls me Silly Sully, because I'm always goofing around and looking for fun. The one quirk that persists from my past is my fear of stairs. Something about those things just freaks me out! I'm sure I can overcome this eventually with love and patience, but for now I think a home without lots of stairs would be best.

I am a very smart girl, so I do know my basic commands and will be really eager to learn more from my new family! I've also heard people describe me by using words like beautiful and gorgeous. I can neither confirm nor deny this, so you'll just have to take another look and see if you would agree! Do you think you might be the family I've always dreamed of having?
