Sherman - Schnauzer and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Goleta, California

Hi there! My name is Sherman and I'm a 7 year old Male Schnauzer Mix currently living at the Santa Barbara Campus, eager for a new home!

Sherman is the perfect blend of charm, enthusiasm, and a heart full of love. He may have started his life as an outdoor ranch dog, but now he's ready to trade in the wide-open spaces for a cozy spot on your couch... and maybe even your bed. Though he was initially shy, he has shown us that he's the life of the party! Whether it's meeting strangers or making new friends, he greets everyone with wagging tails and boundless enthusiasm. He's playful, friendly, and ready to be your constant companion. Sherman has lived with kids before and done well. He's also lived with another dog in his previous home and played well, though the rainbow bridge was calling her name and Sherman is now looking for new buddies to keep him active. When Sherman was brought to the shelter, he came in a little matted, so regular brushing and upkeep will keep him looking (and feeling) his best. Think of it as quality bonding time, he'll love the attention! If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and loving senior who's ready to settle into a warm home, Sherman is your guy. He's not just a pet; he's your friend for life!

Adoptions are open 12pm-4:30pm every day, except Wednesdays, and no appointment is needed. Like all SBH animals, when I am adopted I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Adoptions also include a certificate for a complimentary post-adoption veterinary exam from a local clinic and our partners at Hills Science Diet will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

Need some supplies? Both SB Humane Campuses have retail centers stocked with everything you need, at comparable prices, and your purchase helps support our mission. Hope to see you soon!

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The schnauzer is a versatile and intelligent dog breed known for its distinctive beard and eyebrows. They come in three sizes - miniature, standard, and giant - each with their own unique personalities and characteristics. Schnauzers are loyal, playful, and make excellent family pets. They require regular grooming to maintain their wiry coat and love to be included in activities with their human companions. With proper training and socialization, schnauzers can thrive in various roles, from loving companion to skilled working dog.
