Sullivan is a 13-year-old Shih Tzu in Fairport, NY, who needs $2,000 for Splenectomy.

Sully & Finn came to live with me at 9 weeks old. The same weekend we moved into our house, they arrived. Picking their names wasn’t easy as my bf at the time wanted to name Finn, Thor but wouldn’t agree to Sully being named Loki. We decided on Sully after hearing about Captain Sully who landed the plan in the Hudson River. Was fitting since Sully was always flying around the house.

Sully is also known as Silly. He’s a little ADHD & a mamas boy. He loves going on walks to new places. We would walk 2-3 miles a day and he’d rest for 15 mins and be ready to go again. He follows so closely to me when I move around the apartment that I almost step in him. He & his bro sleep with me and when I turn over he jumps over so he can snuggle to me. He’s very talkative. He makes me laugh

Sully make me laugh daily. His other name is Silly. Recently due to his illness he’s on a med that causes him to seem like he’s high and so he did in the begging this funny thing of crawling very slowly but clumsily up to my face when we were snuggling on the sofa and he would ever so gently put his nose on mine and look me in the eye. I really wish I could speak dog when he speaks to me

About 5 years ago I had a breast cancer scare and Sully started getting sick too. We discovered he had a poly on his spleen, our vet said nothing to worry about and thats not the cause his illness. When my biopsy came back neg, Sully got better. Now that polyp has grown by 2cm and is very painful on him. It needs to be removed.

I work a ft job & have recently taken on 2 pt jobs just to be able to eat as my rent went up $200 last year & now another $100 but no raises, no savings, no credit cards. Trying to pay off my past debts so that I can have a savings but now I’m working to save Sullys life.
