About Sterling Bear the Certified Lover Boy

Sterling Bear is a handsome, approximately 2-year-old, 72 lb Lab mix with a heart of gold. He's the easygoing, go-with-the-flow companion every Lab lover dreams of. Sterling is intelligent, has wonderful house manners, and carries himself with the politeness of a true gentleman. He's the perfect blend of adventure buddy and snuggle pal, ready to melt into the couch with you after a day of exploring. He is also crate and potty trained, and knows a few basic commands.

Ideal Home

Sterling Bear would love a home with a nice big backyard where he can roam, chase squirrels, and relax in the sun. We have not seen him with children, but we believe he would make a great family dog.

Ongoing Health

As with any rescue, breed and age are a best guess. Sterling Bear is up-to-date on all vetting.

Training & Support

Sterling Bear is a smart boy who knows basic commands. He's very dog-friendly and enjoys playing with other happy-go-lucky dogs, but is also content without canine companions. He loves being around his favorite people and soaking up all the attention.
