About Sherman

Sherman is a sweet senior Dachshund mix, around 12 to 14 years old, who recently lost his owner. This charming fellow thinks he’s a lap dog and follows his humans everywhere. With a few teeth left, he needs soft foods to make mealtime easier. His deep bark may not suit apartment living, so a quieter home would be best. Currently, Sherman is on Phenobarbital to manage seizures, and he's been doing well, having only had one in the past two months. This delightful boy is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. Sherman gets along well with dogs, making him a perfect companion for a multi-pet household. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal friend, Sherman could be your guy. Ready to make his next chapter bright? Click apply to start the adoption process.
