Sterling is a 2-year-old male Miniature Poodle mix, about 21 pounds (ID #A487705).

This sweet guy can be nervous and shy around new people, and sometimes he needs a calm and gentle approach to allow him time to get comfortable with you.

Sterling is getting used to walking on a leash and is learning to sit on command. Because of his initial shyness, Sterling would do best in a quiet home with kids 12 years old and older or with children who are gentle and calm. While Sterling doesn’t care for treats, he does like to be petted!

If you’re looking for a sweet and loving guy to join your family, Sterling could be the one for you! He is neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped! You can find out more about him on his Pet Finder profile at www.petfinder.com/petdetail/34531006.
