Sparrow is especially well-suited for an outdoorsy, active adopter who can provide a structured routine and plenty of outside time. He thrives in cold weather, loves running and hiking, and enjoys good play with other dogs. Sparrow is very smart, eager to learn, and does well on leash. He loves boisterous playtime and would really benefit from a confident canine friend at home as a role model.
