About Sprocket

Sprocket stays curled up in a ball in his kennel, but you'd never believe it once you meet him. This sweet 3-year-old, 43 lb Pit Bull Terrier came to us as an injured stray and has been nervous in the shelter. However, once he's out, Sprocket shines as a gentle and affectionate companion. He loves to cuddle and will lean against you, seeking assurance. Building his confidence takes time, and Sprocket would thrive in a calm home that provides patience and positive experiences. He walks nicely on a leash and has been non-reactive around other dogs at the shelter. Currently, he needs a quiet space to decompress and gain some weight, moving away from the stress of shelter life. While Sprocket may seem shy inside his kennel, a little patience reveals a loving dog who wants to feel safe in a family environment. If you are ready to help this gentle soul discover the joys of life, Sprocket is waiting for you. As a reminder, we recommend resident dogs meet any new potential companions. For dog tests, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
