About Sprocket

Sprocket is a playful and loyal companion who truly cares about his family. He has a relaxed demeanor and absolutely loves spending time outdoors, whether it’s going for walks, running, or playing ball in the yard. When the excitement gets too high, simply guiding him to calmness by asserting gentle boundaries helps him grasp what’s expected. He enjoys making himself cozy, whether on the couch, the bed, or nearby on the floor if you prefer. While Sprocket does have some arthritis in his right shoulder, shorter walks and less intense playtimes keep him comfortable and happy. He can be particular about his food, but he has shown improvement in his diet as he settles into his new surroundings. After recent dental work, softening his dry food with warm water has been a hit. Sprocket takes his medication easily when it’s wrapped in a slice of pepperoni—his favorite treat! He’s also quite the champ during bath time, especially when it’s a soothing experience. With the right care, Sprocket will be a faithful friend who reciprocates all the love you give him. Click apply to start the adoption process.
