Sherman, affectionately known as Shermie, is a truly sweet, sensitive, and playful companion with a heart full of love. Initially nervous in a busy shelter environment, he has blossomed in foster care, revealing his gentle spirit and deep loyalty. Once he builds trust, Sherman loves to be by your side, forming a strong bond with his chosen people.
As a Rat Terrier mix, Sherman likely inherits intelligence and a lively disposition. He thrives in the company of other small dogs, displaying a submissive and easygoing play style. He gets along well with cats and would benefit from a confident canine buddy, though he's also content to be an only pup soaking up all the attention. Due to his sensitive nature, an adult-only home is recommended.
Sherman would flourish in a calm home where someone is around for most of the day. While he can be a little skittish when first being leashed, he quickly relaxes and genuinely enjoys walks, car rides, and playdates. He is progressing nicely with house-training on a consistent schedule. With patience and love, Sherman promises to be a devoted little shadow, giving his whole heart to his forever family.
