About Sterling Bear the Certified Lover Boy

Sterling Bear is a handsome, golden-hearted gentleman who checks all the boxes for a dream dog! He's an easygoing Lab mix, believed to be around 2 years old and weighing 72 lbs. Sterling isn't about chaotic puppy energy; he's a perfectly balanced, go-with-the-flow companion who knows when to play, when to cuddle, and when to simply be by your side. He has wonderful house manners, is respectful, and carries himself like the polite gentleman he is. Sterling loves treats, knows basic commands like "sit," and is crate and potty trained. He's the ideal mix of adventure buddy and snuggly pal, and would adore a home with a nice big backyard to roam and relax in. Based on what we know, he would make a great family dog, and we are happy to test him with any specific needs to ensure a perfect match.

Ideal Home

Sterling Bear would love a home with a nice big backyard for him to roam, chase squirrels, and relax in the sun. We have not seen him with children yet, but based on his temperament, we believe he would make a great family dog.
