Due to Lucy’s age and the fact that she was much older than Sully, people at the shelter considered her to be Sully’s mother. Inseparable, the two dogs were often able to hang out together as if to provide comfort and support to one another. They were adopted together, but the adoption process proved somewhat challenging due to their inseparability.

Many people were unwilling to adopt two dogs at the same time, but Alaina Brinton fell in love with the dog when she visited. The kind woman was actually seeking a new dog after losing her senior dog. When she saw Lucy’s picture, she knew she had to meet her right away.

When she expressed interest, she was told Lucy had a buddy that she could also meet. Realizing that nothing was wrong with that, she gladly agreed.

Lucy knew right away that Sully would look to Lucy to show him when things were okay. She told The Dodo: “If these two had been separated, I would have not had the heart to do it.” 

She never regretted taking both dogs. Indeed, they have become a support system to each other. “Lucy gives Sully licks on the forehead whenever they are settling in together, and he looks so happy.”

Finding homes for bonded pairs such as Lucy and Sully can be challenging.

Two dogs at once may seem daunting to some people. However, adopting bonded pairs of dogs has numerous benefits. Not only do bonded pairs provide companionship and support to each other, but they often have an easier transition into a new home as well.

Separation anxiety can be alleviated by bonded pairs adjusting to a new environment.

A bonded pair is a great option for those considering adopting a dog. While you may sometimes hesitate to adopt two dogs at once, they will get the best of both worlds. You will not only give these animals a loving home, but you will also be providing them with a lifelong companion. 

In Lucy and Sully’s story, we see how animals have a universal bond regardless of how far apart we are. With the kindness of strangers and the power of their own bond, these two dogs have found love and a forever home after being homeless and alone.
