Meet Sherman!

Sherman came to us from Maryland in 2021. His Mom adopted him within a couple of months of his arrival and she loved him until her unexpected passing in late 2023, when he was returned to us. Sherman worked hard with her and he knows basic commands. He is very comfortable in his crate and never makes a noise. He is house trained, as well. Sherman is very friendly! He loves to have his ears scratched simultaneously! Like most dogs, he loves attention and will sit there for as long as you are willing to pet him! If you stop, he looks at you and if you don’t restart he will gently put his mouth around your arm and pull slightly to remind you what you were doing! He loves balls! He doesn’t play fetch, but if you have a ball and throw it, he will go after it and then play with it himself. Sherman does not like to share his ball. He is very happy entertaining himself with it in the yard. He tosses the ball in the air and then goes after it. He is happy doing this over and over again! He also likes to just walk around the yard with the tennis ball in his mouth and squeeze it. I think it may be more like a binky to him. He learnt quickly that dirty balls from outside stay outside and do not come in the house. While in the house, Sherman is most comfortable being close to you. If you go upstairs to another room, he wants to go with you. He loves to be close to his humans! Sherman thinks cats are a play toy. So no cats for him. Breed experience please, as he is a very big boy and resource guards occasionally. Sherman will be best with older children. He is looking forward to meeting you and spending the rest of his life with you! Please visit our web site at 4theloveofdog.org for all adoption information
