Sullivan Joins The Family

 


Murphy's family already has a new dog, a rescue Border Collie mix named Sullivan. Parkville Animal Shelter says of Sullivan:

Can you say "Happy Dog"?! That is exactly what Sullivan is. He is happy go lucky, loves to play fetch and wrestle with other dogs. He is around a year and a half old and is extremely smart. He would love a family where he could learn new skills and commands. He is very eager to please!

Sullivan is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Sullivan made himself at home in the family of three adult humans, little Molly, who is four, two other dogs, and a cat. He truly is a happy dog.

The family are still grieving over Murphy, but they wanted another dog. When anyone asks Molly where Murphy is, she points up and says, "With Maman." (Her grandmother and my sister, Gayle) I choked up on that one.

Sullivan looks a little like our dog, Diana. I wish many happy days to Sullivan and his new family.

    Thought Border Collies were the pet of choice of control freaks. Not in this case, clearly.

    Best wishes to the new member of the family. He 's a handsome dog.

    Molly's statement brought a tear to my eyes too.
