A little about them

Hi, I’m Sparrow—a happy, playful boy with plenty of love to give. I enjoy chasing balls, chewing bully sticks, cuddling occasionally, and happily doing my own thing. I’m treat motivated, so learning together can be fun. After being saved from the euthanasia list in Memphis, I’m now Forever Kuddles Fosters’ longest-waiting pup and hoping someone will say, “That’s my boy.” My DNA revealed 16 breeds, including Australian Shepherd, American Staffordshire Terrier, Miniature American Shepherd, and Australian Cattle Dog.
