About Sparrow

Sparrow is a sweet little puppy, currently fostered near Waterloo, Iowa. She’s one of eleven adorable Black and Tan Coonhound/Lab mix pups, born to Birdie, a stray who was fortunate to find a loving foster home just in time. At about 6 ½ weeks old, Sparrow exhibits a gentle nature and seems to be one of the quieter girls in the litter. She tends to observe her surroundings before deciding to join in, showcasing her chill personality. As she grows, her confidence will undoubtedly blossom with more social experiences. This is a perfect time for her to meet children and other pets, as early socialization is key to her development. All our puppies, including Sparrow, require a committed owner ready to invest time in training. She’ll be adopted under a spay contract, with a fee of $500 (which includes a $100 reimbursement upon proof of spay).

If you think Sparrow is the perfect match for your family, please don’t hesitate to apply!
