About Sprout

Meet Sprout, a spirited and affectionate girl on the lookout for her forever home. Her journey has had its twists and turns, and she’s ready for a fresh start where she can thrive. Sprout used to feel overwhelmed in her previous foster setting, which led her to develop some strong preferences around her favorite things—like bones, toys, and a bit of attention from her humans. With positive reinforcement training in her new foster home, she’s making great progress. Treats are her favorite motivator, and she’s learning the art of sharing with other furry friends. At nearly two years old and weighing about 35 pounds, Sprout is a medium-sized pup with plenty of energy and love to give. She has a strong athletic spirit, so a home with one other dog and no younger children would suit her best. Sprout enjoys long sniff-filled play sessions in the yard and loves to cuddle close to her humans when she’s ready for some downtime. As a loyal companion, Sprout will be by your side as your devoted shadow. She enjoys car rides, hopping right into the truck and keeping watch on the curbside orders during the trip.
