About Sherpa Throw

Sherpa is a 2-3 year old, 80lb handsome boy who was found in a tough situation, but he's made a full recovery and his sweet, wild child personality is shining through! He's intelligent and diligent, with a curious spirit that loves to explore. Sherpa is friendly with people and gets along with other dogs his size. He's a devoted dog who aims to please, though he's still learning some social skills as he matures.

Ideal Home

Sherpa would thrive in a home where he can continue to explore and focus on tasks. He gets along well with similar-sized dogs.

Ongoing Health

Sherpa has made a full recovery from heartworms and other medical issues.

Training & Support

Sherpa is enrolled in training at Instinct Dog Behavior and Training, where he's doing great with scent work and improving his communication. His adopter will receive 8 FREE private training sessions with Instinct's trainers to help ensure a smooth transition.

Application Details:

  • Applications start by contacting us through Wags.

Transportation

Sherpa is looking for foster placement in NYC or surrounding areas. He is available for local or out-of-state adoption, but adopters will need to travel to meet him.
