About Sterling

Meet Sterling, also known as Molly. This lively 4-month-old pup is full of energy and enthusiasm. She thrives in the company of larger dogs who can help teach her the ropes of dog play, having previously lived with a gentle giant who let her be a little too mischievous. Thankfully, her current foster has provided guidance, and Sterling has shown great improvement in her play behavior. Though she’s friendly and eager to learn, Sterling may not be ideal for homes with very young children due to her playful nibbles—puppy piranha phase, anyone? She’s already house trained and mostly crate trained, needing just a short burst of play before settling down for the night. Delightful pictures from when she was smaller show how much she has grown, especially her adorable ears. Sterling is ready for a dedicated adopter who can provide the training and structure she needs to flourish. If you think you could be her perfect match, don't hesitate to reach out!
