Meet Sterling, a stunning 1-2 year old Malamute mix who's as sweet as he is beautiful. This big, plushy bear has captured the hearts of everyone who meets him with his gentle nature and affectionate personality.<br/>Sterling is friendly with other dogs and has shown nothing but kindness to every person he encounters. The family who found him described him as incredibly sweet, and that sentiment has been echoed by everyone at the shelter and now with our rescue.<br/><br/>This gorgeous boy was briefly adopted by an older couple who returned him—not because he did anything wrong, but because they realized he needs an experienced home that can meet the needs of a young working breed. Sterling was built to run, pull, and work. He's an active, intelligent dog who will thrive with an owner who understands the Malamute temperament and can provide the exercise, mental stimulation, and structure he needs to be his best self.<br/>Sterling deserves a committed family who:<br/><br/>- Has experience with working breeds or large, energetic dogs<br/>- Can provide daily exercise and activities to keep him engaged<br/>- Has the time and space for an active young dog<br/>- Understands that his energy and drive are part of what makes him special<br/><br/>Rescued from a shelter where he was scheduled for euthanasia over a temporary illness, Sterling is now healthy and ready to find his forever home. He's waiting for that special someone who will appreciate his majestic breed, embrace his need for activity, and give him the full life he deserves.<br/>If you're an experienced dog owner looking for a loyal companion to join you on life's adventures, Sterling is your guy.
