✨ Meet the charming Sprite! This little lovebug is a delightful companion at around 8 years young, weighing in at 10 lbs of pure affection. Now, Sprite is on a health journey; he’s a bit on the chubby side, but with your help, he can reach a healthier weight! 🍏💪 Sprite has some special needs regarding his mobility, as he has bilateral grade 4 luxating patellas. The good news? Surgery isn’t necessary at this moment! 🎉 However, maintaining his weight will be crucial for his knees to keep them in tip-top shape. He also has a little lameness in his front right leg, which is still a mystery but doesn’t stop him from spreading joy! To manage his mobility, adopters should be prepared to carry this sweet soul, especially since he can’t do stairs or jumps—yet! Let’s make sure he gets to his ideal weight, and then who knows what’s possible? 🌟 This darling boy absolutely adores tummy rubs and is a pro at soaking up attention. Sprite thrives in a peaceful home with plenty of love but isn’t looking for a bustling atmosphere—after all, he’s a gentle soul who gets along splendidly with other dogs and even cats! 🤗 **Just a heads up**: Adopters will need to be local, living within a 1-hour drive from Romeoville, IL, and completing reference checks, vet checks, and home visits are part of the process. Remember, no same-day adoptions! 🏠✨ Sprite’s adoption fee of $395 goes toward his medical care, ensuring he has the best life possible. For more details about his adoption process, be sure to *apply through the Buddy App*! ❤️
