About Sherman

Sherman needs a forever home as soon as possible. Six months ago, he was left at a relative’s place, supposedly for a short stay, but his owner never came back. Since then, Sherman has been living with two other dogs in a condo that already exceeds its pet limit. The caregiver has tried other rescues and is out of options—fines are stacking up and eviction is on the table. After meeting Sherman, it was clear he’s an exceptional dog who deserves a real shot at a family. Sherman is truly a gentle giant—about 110 lbs, big but affectionate. He wants to be close, crawl on your lap, or snuggle on the couch. In the home, Sherman is relaxed and crate-trained. He’s friendly with every dog he meets and is currently living peacefully with two Belgian Malinois. He even gets along with mellow cats. There’s never been an issue with any other animals in the home, even in tight quarters. His main quirk is leash-pulling—he’s strong and needs someone who can handle him. Ideally, he’d have a fenced yard or a strong adopter comfortable hiking or working with him on leash manners. Apartments or condos with daily leash walks may be a challenge unless you’re up for some work. At 5 or 6 years old, Sherman is laid back, gentle, quiet, and happy to take up space on the couch. He just wants a place to nap and someone to love him. Sherman is remarkable, and whoever adopts him will be lucky. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
