Review for Animal Shelter Inc aka Sterling Shelter, Sterling, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Two years ago, we adopted a shy Sato from Sterling Animal Shelter. She had been rescued in Puerto Rico as a young puppy, spent a month in a wonderful foster home, and then was transported to Sterling Animal Shelter. She was adopted one day and was returned to the shelter the next day. When I arrived, she had been back at the shelter for about an hour and was hiding in the corner of her pen. I was allowed to go into the pen to sit with her. She was shaking, but she let me pat her. We had brought our other dog along and were able to take both dogs out to an enclosed area to meet. The volunteer informed me that our current dog would bring the puppy to us. She did help the puppy feel more comfortable. We adopted the puppy on that day. Over the past two years, we have enrolled her in many training classes, as well as fun classes, like a tricks class. She is so much more comfortable than she was on that first night when she hid under the bed in the middle of the night. She enjoys running and playing with our other dog.
