My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Confiscated by Animal Control after being found in a garage with five other dogs. His hold at our city shelter was 2 weeks to give owners a chance to reclaim him but thank goodness they didn’t. He was severely underweight and has spent the last few weeks fattening up! Despite being skin & bones, he’s been a sweetheart since day 1.

Intentionally named, Sherlock explores everything with his nose and is quick to figure things out including where the food is and how to use the doggy door. Understandably, his favorite place to be is in the kitchen where he hopes to find food left unattended on the counter. He is rather sensitive about sharing so should other dogs be in the house, it’s best to feed completely separately.

He is a bit of a busy bee in the house, always scanning for something to see or do. However, Sherlock does enjoys chilling with his humans, especially after an outdoor adventure. He is very dog friendly and would likely wear out even faster if his foster brother was more playful. He will occasionally pick up a toy and toss it haphazardly, entertaining himself and he enjoys a leisurely neighborhood walk every so often. It’s very much in his nature to let you know if he spots a squirrel or outdoor cat. Then he will gladly relax on the couch afterwards or seek pets from his people. He loves people, including meeting strangers while out and about. He’s a “leaner” if you know what I mean.

He absolutely does have quite the hound howl which he uses for a few minutes initially in his crate before settling in.

Sherlock is ready to solve the biggest mystery of all—finding his forever home!

He is UTD on vaccines, kept on flea/tick/heartworm prevention, neutered & microchipped.

His adoption fee is $350.
