Update--Sterling has been having a lot of fun lately. He has been going
out-and-about with some of our volunteers. He has been to the feed
store, the pet supermarket, and other places where he has encountered
people and other dogs. He has been a perfect gentleman. As you can see
from his picture, he loves to ride, and is well behaved in a vehicle. He
is always very excited to go, but calms right down once he gets in the
car.
This striking boy is Sterling! He comes to us from a local shelter, where
he was brought as a stray. He is an albino Doberman. He is cream with
pure white markings and ice blue eyes. He has a docked tail and cropped
ears. He is between 3 and 5 years old. He’s a little thin, but we are
fattening him up. He is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves people and
(so far) likes other dogs; however, he is not safe around cats. Sterling
is a “Special Needs” dog on account of his albinism, which will require
a little extra care. He is sensitive to bright light, so he should have
shade available outdoors or he should be provided with doggie sunglasses
such as “Doggles.” He has a thick coat, but he will need sunscreen on
his nose and ears. Also, he may be partially deaf. If he is, he deals
with it well. He is able to hear some sounds. |
