About Sterling

Sterling is the shining star of the Tyler 8. This handsome boy is loyal, kind, and incredibly lovable. He has a mostly white coat accented by large black patches, black ears, and a charming black eye patch crowned with a single tan eyebrow. Across his body, he sports 7 to 8 big black spots, giving him the unique appearance of a giant furry domino. But Sterling is more than just a pretty face. He boasts a sweet personality and has plenty of love to give. Rescued alongside his seven siblings after being found abandoned in a yard with their mother, Sterling has been growing up safely in foster care and is ready to find his forever family. Listed as an Australian Cattle Dog mix, his exact breed combination is a bit of a mystery, although he shows traits typical of herding-type dogs. At just 4.5 months old, Sterling weighs approximately 30-35 lbs and is expected to grow into a medium to large adult dog. He's completed his vaccinations and deworming, and he's been neutered as part of his adoption preparation. Sterling gets along well with cats, dogs, and children, making him an excellent addition to any family. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
