About Sherman

Meet Sherman — born 2/27/26 💙

Hi, I’m Sherman! I’m an 11-week-old, 13-pound bundle of love looking for my forever family. I’ve only been in my foster home for a week, but everyone here already adores me — and honestly, I adore them too! I’m a super friendly, lovable puppy who loves meeting new people. All the neighborhood kids come by to see me, and I think it’s the best thing ever. I’m always ready for attention, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also doing really well with learning the ropes of being a good boy. I’ve already mastered sleeping in my crate all night without any accidents! My foster family says I’m very smart and eager to learn. When it comes to fun, I’m happy with just about anything — throw me a ball, hand me a squeaky toy, or give me a Benebone and I’m entertained for hours. My absolute favorite game is tug-of-war with my 85-pound friend Penny. I haven’t beaten her yet… but I’m pretty sure my winning day is coming soon! After all my adventures and playtime, I turn into a total cuddle bug. My favorite place to relax is curled up on the couch snoozing next to my foster family. Sherman is the perfect mix of playful, affectionate, and easygoing. He’s ready to bring laughter, companionship, and lots of puppy kisses to a lucky forever home. Give this sweet boy a chance and you definitely won’t be disappointed.
