Sterling

Meet the new and improved Sterling boy who is ready to start his new life! You would never guess that just weeks ago this happy boy was found wondering around by himself so matted we had to shave him. This boy has the BEST attitude and is SO happy!

 

Sterling appears to be about a two-year old poodle mix with the most beautiful soft gray coat. Although, his hair is short now, pretty soon he will be grown out and can get a cute teddy bear cut! He will need to be groomed on a regular schedule.

 

Sterling is currently about 35 pounds, but needs to gain another 10ish pounds. He loves food and is very motivated by treats.

 

He is crate-trained and sleeps all night in his crate next to foster moms bed with no accidents. Sterling loves to play catch, loves the pool, chewing on toys and being outside with his person. He is great on a leash on walks or he will even run with you or next to a bike. He loves to cuddle, is smart and obedient, knows how to sit, shake and high five. He even went swimming with his foster mom and laid on her like a little baby and was so relaxed in the water.

 

A few things to know about Sterling:

-He hasn't had any accidents in his crate, but had one pee accident in the house at no fault of his own (foster mom didn’t get him outside quick enough).

-although, he has been alone and not shown love most of his life, he thrives and loves being around people. It would be ideal for him to be adopted by someone who works from home or can be home with him during the day.

-he is a bigger boy and can be a bit clumsy so he would not be good with little kids as he may knock them over by accident.

-Sterling has 3 small foster brothers and we realized quickly that Sterling can play a little rougher than what they are used to. There is not a mean bone in his body, but does play a little rough and does not realize his own strength. Sterling would be best as an only dog or with an older dog that likes to play and he can learn from.

 

Sterling is a catch for sure and is gonna make someone a devoted best friend for life!
