About Sprig

Sprig is a sweet, 10-year-old Beagle who recently joined us after spending most of her life outdoors as a hunting dog. She's eager for affection and learning what it means to be loved inside a home. During her spay, a high-grade heart murmur was discovered, indicating early stages of heart failure. Despite this, she could have many more good years ahead with proper care. She is listed as special needs, so her adopter should be consistent with potty breaks and outdoor time—she's adjusting well to indoor life so far. Sprig is friendly with other dogs and has been fine around cats. She's also good with children, showing her gentle and sociable nature. If you're interested in giving her a loving home, you can adopt or try her on a trial basis. Let's help Sprig transition into a comfortable home life. Every animal deserves a chance at happiness, and Sprig is ready to experience that. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
