About Sterling (applications in review)
All About Me and My Unique Personality: Sterling is an outgoing, boisterous puppy with typical Staffordshire traits. Loves wresting with her sister. Loves toys and games.
My Ideal Home: Living with a new family that will have time to invest in training, a place where she can grow into a nice pet. She will be one for going on adventures and being out and about. She is social, curious and friendly.
She will need plenty of environmental enrichment and interactive play to use up all that puppy energy.
What is Known About My Background: Sterling was surrendered to a local council ranger and entered into foster care immediately. Sterling was part of an unplanned / unexpected litter and due to her owners not having and further accommodation a decision was made to surrender. It appears Sterling grow up with a few siblings. She was well cared for, is a happy healthy puppy.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets: Sterling likes children. She is in foster care with a 12 and 14 year old child. She will need ongoing training to be a well behaved dog around people and children.
Sterling is in foster care with kittens, they have no contact, however can view each other at times. When you are too busy exploring the new house and playing with your sister the kittens are not a focus.
No other pets trialled.
