Meet Sterling This silver grey gentleman is looking for his forever home, and trust us, he is worth every bit of your heart. Fast Facts Name: Sterling Age: 4 years old Weight: 53.6 lbs Breed: Labrador/Retriever Mix Gender: Male Intake Date: April 12, 2026 Adoption Fee: $300 Personality Sterling is a calm, handsome boy with a gentle soul. His silver grey coat is just as distinguished as his demeanor. He is the kind of dog who will settle right into your life and make you wonder how you ever lived without him. Perfect Home Sterling would thrive in a home that understands his needs and loves him exactly as he is. He will self-limit his own activity, so he does not need a high-energy household. A calm, comfortable home where he can relax and be loved is exactly what this boy deserves. Compatibility Dogs: To be determined Cats: To be determined Kids: To be determined Behavior & Training Notes Sterling is a good boy who just needs a patient family willing to work with him at his pace. Health Sterling has bilateral torn ACLs that were evaluated by our vet on April 20, 2026. These appear to be older injuries that Sterling has already compensated for beautifully. He is not showing signs of pain at this time and will naturally self-limit his activity. Treatment at this stage would do more harm than good, so we are managing his care thoughtfully. As he ages he may need pain medication similar to what any dog with arthritis would take, and we want his adopter to go in with full knowledge and full hearts. His legs may be a little crunchy but his spirit absolutely is not. Sterling's Story Sterling came to us in April 2026 and immediately stole our hearts with that gorgeous silver coat and sweet nature. This boy has been through something, but you would never know it by looking at him. He just keeps going. Why You'll Love Sterling Because he is steady, sweet, and stunning. Because he proves every single day that a little wear and tear does not define you. And because a dog who has compensated this gracefully for this long deserves someone who will love him just as gracefully in return. Ready to meet Sterling?
