When a compassionate lady volunteering at Farm To Able, an animal sanctuary in Blue Springs, Missouri, spotted a little puppy tied to a kennel in the middle of a highway, she sprang into action. The pup, later named Sullivan, was relieved to be rescued by such a kind soul.
The big-hearted volunteer reported the situation to Animal Control. After Sullivan’s five-day stray hold expired and nobody claimed him, he began looking for a place to stay, but the overcrowded shelters were unable to take him in.
Searching For A Forever Home

Sullivan’s hero spoke to Sheriee, the founder of the sanctuary, who agreed to foster him and assist in finding him a forever home. Sullivan arrived at the farm animal sanctuary, eagerly exploring his new surroundings and quickly making friends with pigs, chickens, cows, and horses. He was grateful to be at the sanctuary and looked forward to what destiny had in store.
While he settled into his foster home, Sheriee worked diligently to find him a permanent family. After getting to know the pup better, she was impressed by his unique calmness for a young dog. She began sending videos of Sullivan to her son, James, who had always wanted a dog. On a whim, Sheriee suggested he consider Sully. To her excitement, James agreed.
Sully’s Happily Ever After

The moment James met Sullivan, he instantly felt a connection, believing the pup was meant to be his. “He said there was just something about it where he just felt like it was his dog,” said Sheriee. Sully reciprocated the feeling, melting into love when James picked him up.

Sheriee believed that the two were destined to find one another and was overjoyed knowing that Sully would thrive with her son. “He will never have to worry whether or not his human loves him or is coming back for him… He will always be safe, protected & loved beyond measure,” she shared on Instagram.
After spending three weeks at the sanctuary, Sullivan moved to Denver, Colorado, where he began the happiest chapter of his life. The adorable puppy now enjoys life to the fullest, going hiking with his dad and playing in the snow, all thanks to the kind-hearted woman who rescued him from the highway, giving him a chance to experience true love.
