Hi there, I'm Sterling! I'm a very athletic dog with a stunning black coat that's sure to catch your eye. But what really makes me stand out is my tongue – it's a mile long! I love using it to give kisses and show my affection to my favorite humans.

One of my favorite things in the world is playing with toys, and I'm always up for a game of fetch or tug-of-war. But my absolute favorite time of the day is when I get my kong at night – it's the best treat ever!

Once I warm up to people, I'm very sweet and friendly. I love nothing more than socializing with humans and showing off my playful side. I'm also the official babysitter of all the puppies at the shelter – I love showing them the ropes and making sure they're having fun.

But even though I enjoy taking care of others, I'm ready to find a home of my own where I can relax and have a little less responsibility. If you're looking for a playful and social companion who will always keep you entertained, then I'm the dog for you!
