TRISTAN'S LONG ROAD TO HIS FOREVER HOME

Tristan was found in a hotel room with his owner who had passed away. He ended up in the Dallas shelter and was then rescued by Metroplex Mutts. He was treated for heart worms and anxiously awaited his new home. Unfortunately the older dog in the first home just wasn't interested in having a new buddy. Several weeks later he was placed into another home with two dogs and a cat. Though they tried and tried the alpha dog just didn't accept him either so he began to amuse himself by playing with the cats because nobody else would play with him. So alas, he was looking for home #3 when we received the most wonderful inquiry about him that started with "Let us tell you a little bit about ourselves." And what wonderful information it was.
But this family wasn't in Dallas - they were outside Houston, TX. A small obstacle. Glowing references, pictures and local rescue groups they had previously adopted from got us over that hurdle. So off we went on Tristan's new adventure. All I can say it was love at first sight.
Sandy brought pictures of their current and previous dogs and Tristan jumped right into her arms. She brought all sorts of treats to win his heart but that wasn't even needed. After an hour of getting acquainted in the park, off he went to his new home. His name is now Sully and the update we just got is heartwarming.

SULLY
Occupation: Demolitions Expert
Favorite Things - Sleeping on the Living Room Sofa and Drinking from the Toilet
Dislikes: Getting ear hairs trimmed

Hi, I'm Sully, formerly Tristan. I love my new home and my new people. Even though I was asked politely, I just can't stop drinking out of the toilet! It's so convenient. My new brother, Teddy the terror-ier, wasn't sure about me at first, but now we're buds. I love sleeping in the bed and I take more than my share for sure. I love to take off running across the room at 100 miles an hour, stop on a dime, and get things off the floor and throw them across the room. What a great game. And the best game of all ... I wait at the door each day, and when Mom says "Daddy's home" I wait and jump up and almost flatten Dad with a big old body hug! I've learned to listen for his truck so I can prepare. He tries to sneak in, but I'm too good - and I'm so glad to see him. I love male bonding! So I'm not going anywhere this time - I'm here to stay. My forever home is awesome! I'm so happy!
Love,
Sully
