Sherman

My story

Who is going to step up for this special boy and change his world? You know, Sherman is cute as a bug but he is not the easiest dog to foster. Not what you were expecting to hear? Well, hear me out- Sherman deserves better. And I believe that a better life for him starts with honesty. He's been let down before and I refuse to let him down again. He was found as a stray. Whether he was dumped or just not secured well in his yard, we don't know. What we do know is that he was failed. Somebody brought home this adorable cuteness of a puppy and we can only assume, grew tired of him. They didn't even try to teach him how to be a good dog (that doesn't happen magically, BTW), no manners, no "tricks". I guess he was supposed to figure it out for himself and when he didn't, well, that's where we come in. He is a beautiful bundle of boundless energy. He loves to play ball and is learning to "release" so the play can go on. He is learning to "come" so the ball can get thrown over and over. He is learning "sit" as he has to "sit" and "release" before foster mom will throw the ball again. He is wary of strangers- can you blame him??? He does fine with slow intros. He likes other dogs but is very dominant so any dog buddies would need to be willing to put up with his shenanigans. We are recommending a home with teenage children and up due to his size and level of energy as well dog awareness. His ideal home would be with an active person looking for a forever loyal friend. Someone that will take him on hikes and throw that ball over and over and over. He needs someone committed to training him to help him be his best self. So, no. Sherman is not the easiest dog to foster and he won't be the easiest dog to find that perfect home for. But I don't care. Because I will keep loving on him until that perfect someone comes forward. Please help share Sherman's story!
