Hello, I'm Sully

Sully

Introducing our boy , Sully! Sully arrived in our care through sad circumstances, he was found tied up to our fence in the middle of the night, tucked away into the corner of the railings in the bushes. Sully was left feeling scared and alone not knowing where he was…
On arrival sully was covered in his own faeces and urine, he was also matted and seems as if he has never had any TLC.
Well that has all changed , he has had an appointment with our vets and groomer and is looking and feeling brand new.

Sully is a large guardian breed, a Caucasian Shepherd. He is approximately 3 years old.

The Caucasian shepherd are bred for guarding livestock and are very strong , they need experienced hands. Sully is looking for owners that have experience with guarding breeds , owners that have had his specific breed or similar would be perfect for him. Once sully trusts you he is extremely loving and likes to rest his head on your lap for some cuddles and sniff out every inch of you. However, he is still very timid and it seems he has not been exposed to life or the outside world at all.

New people can be very frightening for sully , he is working on his confidence skills and they are building day by day. Loud noises can also be a worry for Sully, being in a busy environment like kennels is not the place for him and he desperately needs out so that he can start to relax and properly work on his socialising and slow exposure to the outside environment. One thing we know for sure about Sully is that he loves his canine pals , he hasn’t learnt to play as of yet , but you can see that he definitely “speaks dog” rather than human. We believe he would benefit massively from having a canine companion to show him the ropes.

Sully was a very good boy for his bath and groom and is getting used to humans having loving hands and not scary ones. He needs owners that will be committed to working with a trainer to build on his confidence and help him learn “how to dog” properly. Sully would love to take up some extra training classes to help keep his brain busy and fulfill his breed specific needs once his confidence has grown and he has built bonds. He is looking for an adult only home where he can decompress and adjust at his own pace. He could possibly live with other neutered depending on intros done at the centre.

Based on Sullys past associations he will require committed humans to build a bond with him. This will mean ongoing visits to the centre. Sully needs a rural setting to thrive in, city life is not for him.
