Meet Sterling

Mr. Sterling is still looking for his forever home! Sterling here is a wonderful, complex boy. He's a major sweetie, but he's extremely timid and scared of the world, including new people. We do not know his past but whatever happened impacted him very much. He takes medication to help with his anxiety. When you first meet him, he's not going to want to be up close and personal. But once you give him time and build trust, he is the sweetest sweetheart of all the sweethearts. Once he's sharing space with you and after decompressing in his safe space, he'll start to accept treats, ask for pets, and come out of his space on his own. Then he's basically your bestie and a great couch buddy - he loves to snuggle and get belly rubs, and he'll kindly tap you with his long legs to ask for more attention and lovin'. And you couldn't possibly resist this handsome man with his beautiful eyes! Sterling loves a good chew toy and treats like turkey jerky and pup cups. He's crate trained (the crate is a safe space for him) and house trained, and does very well with other dogs. Sterling needs a home with another dog friend, especially a confident one who can help show him that the world isn't so scary. Sterling needs a special forever home, with a person/people who are very very dedicated to helping him be less nervous, which will involve a whole lot of confidence building, training, exposure to different environments, and more - PBSF will help point adopters in the direction of appropriately helpful resources. It will take time, patience, and work. He must have a fenced-in yard because this boy can jump with those long legs. If you're ready to do the work, and ready for this special boy to give you all kinds of love, Sterling could be the one for you!
