Responding to a theft case, she discovered not just the suspect but a pitiful mass of fur in a dog stroller. Peering closer, the sorrowful eyes of a dog named Sullivan met hers.

Rohlf, deeply moved by Sullivan’s condition, ensured he was taken to Orange County Animal Services in Orlando.
The signs of neglect were evident, with his fur matted and soaked in urine. However, fate had better plans for Sullivan. Dannielle Southon from Central Florida Fosters came across his picture and was determined to change his life.

After a much-needed grooming session, Sullivan revealed a face so adorable that it left everyone in awe. Southon’s first meeting with him was filled with licks and affectionate kisses, indicating the loving nature hidden beneath his previous state.
In his foster home, Sullivan blossomed. Initially shy, the love showered upon him helped him regain his confidence and joy.

Sullivan’s journey came full circle when he was reunited with Officer Rohlf, the one who first found him. The joyous reunion was filled with disbelief, as Rohlf couldn’t recognize the transformed Sullivan.

Southon remarked on the profound change in Sullivan, emphasizing his newfound happiness. Currently under the care of his foster mom, Heather, Sullivan is on the lookout for a permanent home. Given his endearing nature, it’s certain he’ll soon find a family that cherishes him.
