Sherio hasn’t always been kind to him, but that hasn’t made him cynical or cruel. Instead, this adorable pup has decided to assist other foster pets feel safe and at ease.
Sherio is well aware of how frightening it can be to move into a new house; Even though Sherio now lives in a home that is welcoming and warm, that hasn’t always been the case.
Sherio isn’t just hard of hearing yet in addition to some degree blind and thus, he’s made some extreme memories seeing as a permanent spot to live.
He has lived in 12 foster homes, 2 sanctuaries, and even been adopted 4 times, only to be returned each time.
But eventually, he got to know Sheryl Smith, and in her, he found someone who was willing to love him for who he was, despite his disabilities.
When Smith first met Sherio, she was immediately convinced that she had to adopt him because she had a long history of helping animals in need.
Sherio is overjoyed to finally have a family who loves him, and ever since he was adopted by Smith, he has been determined to „pass it forward“ and spread the happiness.
“Sherio does everything in his power to assist each and every animal that Smith agrees to take home and foster.
Sherio goes to great lengths to provide the vulnerable animals with a sense of security and affection. He tries to comfort them by kissing and licking them in an encouraging way.
„Just after his rescue l saved a pregnant canine who was too sick to care for her pups, so [Sherio] climbed in with them and began cleaning them,“ Smith stated in an interview with the Dodo.
With every rescue I take in, he has done that. He forms such strong bonds with the feral cats and kittens that they trust him more than I do.
He will simply sit patiently with them. “The fact that Sherio cares so much about the animals he fosters makes sense; He has, after all, been in the same predicament. numerous times Too frequently.
Despite the fact that Sherio is secure in his new, permanent residence, he still experiences separation anxiety as a result of his past.
The Dodo was informed by Smith that „he still to this day cries in the car as he thinks he’s being dropped off somewhere else,“ and this was explained to the animal.
“However, Smith and her family are doing everything in their power to boost his self-assurance. In the meantime, Sherio has developed into an excellent source of strength for numerous animals in need.
Tiny Tolley, a feral kitten Smith lately adopted, was in desperate need of care.Smith took in the sick and weak kitten and nursed her back to health.
Without Smith, the kitten would not have survived. Naturally, Sherio did his part and stayed by the kitten’s side faithfully as she got stronger and healthier.
He even gave her a few big, wet puppy kisses once Tiny Tolley was strong enough to explore the house. Even though the kisses weren’t always appreciated, his love and company were.
Instead of allowing his troubles in the past to tarnish his new life, Sherio has been able to make positive use of his experiences.
Despite the fact that he continues to experience anxiety, his love and compassion shine brighter and are enhancing the lives of every animal he encounters.
We are overjoyed to finally have a beautiful family who will always remind him that he is safe, loved, and has a permanent place in their hearts and homes. We are so proud of this good boy.
