About Sterling Bear the Certified Lover Boy

Sterling Bear is a handsome, 2-year-old Lab mix who weighs around 72 lbs. He's a true gentleman with a calm, steady temperament that makes him a joy to be around. Sterling is the perfect blend of adventurous and snuggly, always ready for a walk or a cuddle session on the couch. He has wonderful house manners, is crate and potty trained, and knows a few basic commands like "sit." He loves treats and is eager to please, making him a fantastic companion for anyone looking for a loyal and loving friend.

Ideal Home

Sterling Bear would thrive in a home with a nice big backyard where he can roam, chase squirrels, and relax in the sun. While he hasn't been directly tested with children, based on his personality, he's believed to be a great family dog.

Ongoing Health

Sterling Bear is a rescue dog, and while we can't guarantee his exact breed or age, he is up-to-date on all vetting, which includes DAPP vaccinations, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad-spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12-month heartworm preventative injection, and a heartworm test. He also comes with a health certificate deeming him healthy for travel.

Training & Support

Sterling Bear is already crate and potty trained and knows some basic commands. He enjoys playing with other dogs who have a happy-go-lucky personality and know when to take a break from play. He's also happy to be the center of attention in a home without other dogs.
