**REPOSTING on behalf of Green Dog Rescue, Sherlock is not with us**
🐾 Meet Sherlock 🐾
Sherlock is a sweet 5–6-year-old Maltese mix weighing about 18–20 pounds who is looking for a patient, understanding home through Green Dog Rescue.
Sherlock’s story hasn’t been an easy one. He came from a woman who was terminally ill and living in a tiny trailer. Sadly, he suffered from severe neglect for much of his life, including a constant flea infestation that left him anemic. He spent several days at the veterinarian receiving treatment and supportive care before he was healthy enough to be neutered and fully vetted.
Despite everything he’s been through, Sherlock is truly a loving little dog. 99% of the time he is absolutely wonderful — affectionate, well-trained, calm, and a joy to be around. However, Sherlock does have a bite history and can react if he becomes startled or frightened by sudden movement. Because of this, he will need an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust and security take time.
The good news? Sherlock has done wonderfully with several people in his current care and has shown that, in the right environment, he can thrive.
Sherlock deserves a second chance at a safe, stable, loving home where he can finally relax and feel secure. ❤️
