Sherman Photo Courtesy of PetfinderHello! My name is Sherman. I was found as a stray and taken to a place called an animal shelter in Shepherdsville, KY. I was there for about 6 days waiting for my family to come and get me, but they never did. I was picked up by my LWR foster mom (FM) and taken to the vet to get checked out and weighed. As you can see, I am a little overweight. I weighed in at 107.1#. I should be about 75 lbs. So you know what that means! I am on a diet and have started an exercise program. I get dog food, but I am also getting green beans to make me feel full and some pumpkin for the fiber. Yum! I have learned the dog door at my foster home (yes I can fit through it!). I get along with all the other dogs here, but we are not sure yet how I would be with a cat. I do well with children also.
I am house trained and will go in a crate, but I am normally left out in the house during the day while my foster parents are at work. I do have some fatty tumors on me that will need to be evaluated after I lose my weight, but that just makes me more interesting! I can get up on the couch and a bed so my weight does not slow me down! I have to tell you a funny thing. When my FM went to get me from the shelter, they were calling me Sarah. Well on the way to the vets office I decided I wanted to get up in the front seat of the car and lay down in the passenger side. My FM looked over, lifted up my leg, and figured out I was a Sherman, not a Sarah! She was laughing pretty hard in the car. I am a very happy guy and will be even happier when I am able to run more after losing my weight.
We have a pond here, and I thought the lily pads were the extension of the ground, but when I walked out on them I totally went under water! I kind of like the water though. I am around 5-6 years old, neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped, and heartworm negative. I have also started getting a yummy heartworm prevention pill. I hope you can overlook my figure right now and focus on all my love I have to give. I am being fostered by Louisville, KY. Please fill out an application so my FM can give you a call to tell you all the great things about me! See you soon.
UPDATE! 11/3/10 - Wanted to update you on my weight issue! I have lost 21 lbs since coming into rescue. I went to the vet on 10/30/10 and she was very impressed with the way I look. I weigh 86.6 lbs now! She thinks I should lose about 10 more lbs. Right now she doesn't want to do anything about my fatty tumors because they would need to have a drain put in each spot and that can get kind of hairy, she said. I am waiting for my forever home and hope they are out there and coming soon.
