Sully

Shiba Inu · Male · Young · 1 year

Of we hem konden redden. Of we nog een plaatsje voor hem hadden. Een jonge Shiba Inu die ze niet verkocht kregen en die niets kende behalve de beperkte wereld waarin hij was opgegroeid. We wilden hem een kans geven en zo kwam Sully bij ons terecht. Het is een prachtig hondje om te zien, maar achter dat mooie uiterlijk schuilt een bang en onzeker kereltje. In een hok leer je natuurlijk niets over het echte leven. Bij Sully was dat vanaf het eerste moment pijnlijk duidelijk. In het begin maakten we ons veel zorgen om hem, want zijn angst zit diep. Ondertussen wordt er iedere dag met hem gewerkt. Hij krijgt aandacht, knuffels en leert stapje voor stapje dat niet iedere hand iets slechts betekent. Maar Sully heeft nog een lange weg te gaan. Voor hem zoeken we dan ook geen doorsnee thuis. Hij heeft een rustig en geduldig baasje nodig dat niets van hem forceert en hem alle tijd geeft om op zijn eigen tempo open te bloeien. Een veilig afgesloten tuin en een stabiele, sociale hond zijn voor Sully absoluut noodzakelijk. Zo'n hondenvriendje kan hem helpen om meer vertrouwen te krijgen. Sully is geen kant-en-klaar hondje, en hij moet nog heel veel leren. Wie heeft de rust, het geduld en vooral het grote hart om Sully de kans te geven die hij nooit eerder kreeg?

About Sully

What life with Sully looks like

Sully is a young adult shiba inu dog waiting at ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) in Spain.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇪🇸Adopting from Spain

Spanish protectoras generally include sterilization, all vaccinations, microchip ID, and EU pet passport in the adoption fee. Many maintain partnerships with rescue transport providers across the EU.

Frequently asked

Adopting Sully, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Sully?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Sully on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Sully if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Sully already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Sully isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with ACE / SHIN (Animal Care Espana) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Sully and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
