About Sprout

Hello, I'm Sprout! My past is a bit of a mystery, but my journey has brought me here, and I'm ready for my fresh start. Life was a little overwhelming in my previous foster home, a very busy living situation where I didn't always know which items were mine to keep. Because of that, I've developed some "strong opinions" about my favorite things (bones, food, specific toys, and sometimes even my human's attention!). It's just my way of saying, "This is mine, and I'd like to keep it, please!" I have been in my new foster home with the Founder of Paws4Christ for just a few weeks and am making wonderful progress with positive reinforcement training (treats are my favorite motivation!). I am meeting lots of new furry friends here and my foster Pawrents have been so patient and consistent with teaching me that sharing is okay. Finding a forever family that understands this will continue to help me improve and grow into the bestest girl. At nearly two years old, for a 35-pound, medium-size pup, I am a smart and affectionate gal who is learning to walk well on a leash, accepting that crate training is a good and safe space when needed. I love a good sniffari in the yard and enjoy quiet time beside my humans or in their arms. Loyalty and protectiveness are my middle names. I'll be your devoted shadow and guardian, always by your side and looking out for you. With my playful spirit and loving heart, I'll bring you joy, laughter, and unconditional love. Could that be with you? Before you fill out the application, you should know that I am an adventurous gal! I love going for a ride, I load right up in the truck and behave so well. I even keep an eye on the curbside orders the whole way home!

Ideal Home

I may do better in a home with one other doggo, but I prefer no younger children because I am quite an athletic and bouncy pup-per.

Ongoing Health

Training & Support
