Sherman, a hound/terrier mix, cannot get enough of human affection. Once he realized the benefits of socializing, he is unable to resist introducing himself to strangers. Although this is a fantastic quality, the shelter staff wants to make sure it doesn't escalate into needy behaviors. Adopters will have to be able to correct this and only reward him when he's calm and quiet. Because he came in as a stray, the staff is not able to determine his past lifestyle, but are extra happy to know he loves to surround himself with people. Basic obedience along with physical and mental exercise are great ways to help with bonding and shedding some excess weight. With a balanced lifestyle and a stable routine, Sherman will undoubtedly transform into a more confident and calm companion. Sherman is very easy to walk and has become a volunteer favorite.
