About Sherman

Sherman is a small, older dog who has had a rough go of things and is now looking for a quieter, more understanding home. He was adopted once, but health needs and misunderstandings about his care brought him back into rescue. Sherman comes with a stubborn streak and a need for space; he does best on his own as he tends to avoid other dogs and seems uncomfortable around them. He must not be placed with small children due to his habit of snapping if startled or suddenly handled, though once he's settled and trusts, he keeps to himself and does fine. He's managing early kidney disease, and a prescription diet has already made a difference for him. Prospective adopters should feel comfortable with both senior dog care and the routine of kidney management. Cat compatibility is unknown. Sherman will do best in a calm environment with an experienced adult and plenty of patience. This guy just wants to feel safe and respected after all he’s been through. Ready to fall in love?
