About Sterling Bear the Certified Lover Boy

Sterling Bear is a handsome, approximately 2-year-old Lab mix weighing around 72 lbs. He's a wonderfully easygoing gentleman with a calm and steady temperament, perfect for anyone looking for a loyal companion. Sterling is smart, polite, and has excellent house manners, making him a pleasure to have around. He enjoys a good balance of adventure and relaxation, happily melting into the couch after a nice walk or playtime. He's crate and potty trained and knows a few basic commands like "sit." Sterling loves being outdoors and would thrive in a home with a big backyard for him to explore.

Ideal Home

Sterling would love a home with a nice, big backyard. While he hasn't been formally tested with children, his gentle nature suggests he would make a great family dog.

Ongoing Health

Sterling Bear is a rescue dog, so his exact breed and age are an estimate. He has been vetted, including vaccinations and deworming, and he's microchipped with free lifetime registration.

Training & Support

Sterling is already crate and potty trained and knows basic commands. He's very dog-friendly and enjoys playing with other dogs, particularly those who are happy-go-lucky but also know when to take a break. He's also perfectly content as an only dog and will happily soak up all the attention from his people.
