The Gibson/Sullivan Family and Hill Family are proud to sponsor this transport in loving memory of Jeffery James Sullivan, who passed away July 2017, at the age of 29. Jeff’s love of animals began at a young age. He begged for a dog for two years before receiving his beloved Golden Retriever, Tanner, at the age of nine. Although Jeff had a relative who raised dogs, he recognized the importance of adopting rescue dogs and chose to do so as an adult. Jeff and his girlfriend Morgan adopted two rescue dogs, Jaxson and Buddha, who they fell in love with. The dogs reciprocated the love and affection given to them. Jeff was very supportive of the rescue/adoption opportunities for all dogs and dog lovers. It is our hope that his deep love of life and animals is transferred to any adopted animal through play, laughter, and companionship. He would be so happy to know that dogs were saved in his name! The little voice you hear telling you to take control of the dog during training…that will be Jeff! - Carrie Gibson, Jeff’s mother
Lennox was born about July 24, 2017 and will likely top out in the 50 lb. range when full grown. Lennox is very friendly and good with the other dogs. He is playful, fun and happy. Lennox had been waiting to learn his fate at the Virginia kill shelter for a bit longer than most of the dogs. You see, they get a lot of hounds in this area, so competition is fierce, and sadly many of them never find a loving forever home. They knew Lennox was special, so animal control teamed up with their humane society President to ask for suggestions in a last ditch effort for Lennox. The Humane Society was able to persuade a student at their local Law College to foster Lennox for a while to buy some time finding him a home. Well, after about a week, with classes and studying being so demanding, the student had to ask them to find another alternative for Lennox. She took amazing care of him while in foster care, so he was fortunate to have had that time with her. When the Humane Society reclaimed him, they sent out some of his photos taken at her home to us, and we told her we KNEW we would be able to find the perfect family for Lennox, so please share his story with all your hound/beagle loving friends and let's get him that FOREVER HOME! This is all we know so far and will be learning as we go and so will you.
