My story

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

I am looking for a foster or forever family!

Hi! My name is Sterling and I am from Minnesota.

Not only is he the sweetest, goofiest dog ever, he is the easiest dog we have ever had as part of our family. He's just an all-around good boy! His tail doesn't just wag side to side when he's happy; it wags in a circle like a windmill.

This guy LOVES his toys, especially a large ball. It's almost like a pacifier he keeps in his mouth all day. He is perfectly content lying out in the sun, chomping on a massive ball for hours at a time. He can also be found nudging a ball with his nose and "chasing it a couple steps ahead. I am not kidding when I say he entertains himself for hours. Toys have gotten Sterling through activity restrictions as he had 2 knee surgeries in the past year. It is important for Sterling to have large toys as he has swallowed small objects in the past, leading to surgery to remove it.

Sterling has been great with every dog we've met. When our resident Boston Terriers give him attitude when they all go after the same toy, he immediately backs off. He's a total sweetheart! And while he loves playing with his toys, he will also take a break from them to cuddle up to you or let you give him hugs and kisses. He is good with kids of all ages and our understanding is he is also good with cats.

He is potty trained and crate trained. Most nights he goes into a kennel to lay down but we encourage him to sleep in a cozy dog or human bed which he seems to love even more! We're not really sure how he does on walks since he hasn't been able to go on them yet following his knee surgery but he has had no issue walking on a leash in and out of vets or adoption events.

Sterling does great in a car and seems to really enjoy his car rides. He loves to eat (cue windmill tail) and is a good listener. His only real downfall is he is sloppy with his pup cups from the coffee shops so have some wipes handy if you decide to stop to get him one!

Go meet their pets

The Bond Between's goal is to not keep any animals at our rescue office. The majority of our animals are living in foster homes until they are adopted. Occasionally, animals are living in our rescue office that are in need of a foster home.

If you would like to meet an animal at our office who needs a foster, please reach out to inofficeanimals@thebondbetween.org and fill out our foster interest form at https://www.thebondbetween.org/foster

For more information on fostering or adoptable animals, please visit https://www.thebondbetween.org.

More about this rescue

The Bond Between is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that focuses on the bond between humans and animals. We were founded in 2009 as Secondhand Hounds. Since then, we have rescued over 29,000 dogs and cats with the help of thousands of fosters, volunteers, and supporters in our community. Our organization has grown from a rescue to a first-in-its-class animal wellbeing organization... now The Bond Between! We continue to provide safe shelter, proper veterinary care, and daily necessities for animals while working hard to help them build a bond with humans. We also focus on supporting the bonds that already exist between people and pets with our pet food shelf, respite foster care program, and focus on social services.

We wake up every morning saying YES to connecting people and animals, caring for them, and helping them fill each other’s hearts.

You can help support us today by donating, fostering, volunteering, or sharing The Bond Between.
