Dubbed “the little hippo,” Sherman is a 9 year old, 68 pound mixed breed who loves to sit outdoors and watch cars, play with toys, and sit in your lap and give you kisses. Sherman was found as a stray. He had a microchip but no one ever showed up to claim him. At first he was very scared of everything and everyone, but during the year he has been with us he turned into a happy fellow and now loves his walks and meeting new people. He takes fish oil to help with his dry skin. He seems to like other dogs but a meet would have to be arranged before he could go to a home with another dog. Sherman has a unique and adorable personality, and he has been waiting for his forever family way too long!
