My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Sprout and her sensational ears are looking for a new home!

Sprout is a sweet, very loving and gentle medium energy dog. She wakes up every morning with an infectious happiness, excited to start a brand new day with her people. Sprout may be eight years old but she is definitely a younger pup in spirit.

She absolutely loves to go running with her foster dad (she has recently joined his running group!) and going for long walks and adventures. She is very playful, she loves her toys and enjoys a game of fetch.

In the home she's mellow and very affectionate. If she requests cuddles she will politely nudge your arm to remind you that she wants some love. She's very gentle and loving, and her ultimate happy place is by your side. It's funny how quickly her energy will change from sleepy to excited when you pick up that leash! She's always ready for action.

In her previous home, Sprout didn't get very regularly exercised or socialized. Out and about on walks, Sprout does still need some more leash training. She has been mostly uninterested in other dogs when outside, and has barked at a few, but considering her lack of socialization she is doing very well. She is very treat motivated and really wants to please her human, so with ongoing socialization and training she could learn to be more comfortable around other dogs.

Sprout is not 100% house trained. Again, sadly this is something that she just wasn't really taught in her previous home. She knows to go on puppy pads, and as we mentioned before she is extremely smart and really wants to do the right thing, so with a little more patience and training we think she could learn what she's supposed to do.

Sprout gets a little bit vocal when she's left on her own, but does calm down after a little while. It's just something that she's not used to but she's learning that being on her own is ok and she doesn't need to be worried.

Sprout's fosters speak so highly of her, and said she's just impossible not to fall in love with. This sweet girl had a little bit of a rocky start to life but she has so much love to give, and so much excitement for life to share with you! She just needs a kind and patient family to help teach her a few doggy basics to help her learn to reach her full potential. She is ready to learn to be a star pupil and in return be the best friend you've ever had.

More about this rescue

Live Love Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit organization that rescues homeless animals by providing them the necessary medical care, allowing for physical and emotional rehabilitation, finding them their perfect forever homes, and showering them with love throughout their journey with us.

Some of our rescue highlights from 2016: Bravey the Chihuahua "braved" a house fire with second degree burns on her back and side. Bravey had multiple laser treatments to speed up her healing, months of bandage changes and antibiotics while the burns healed. She is now all better and adopted to her forever home. Raquel the Min Pin was severely neglected and surrendered during our #fosterthe4th event at Long Beach Animal Care Services. After months of getting her well again, she too has found a loving lifetime family! Buster the Terrier Mix was hours away from euthanization. His behavioral issues are fear based and very workable with rehabilitation. Buster is continuing his training programs thanks to the funds made available by our rescue and his committed foster mom. And these are just a few of the furry ones we've had the opportunity of helping heal.

None of what we do would be possible without our network of fabulous Foster Homes. Fosters provide the safe space and daily care for our rescue pets to heal. They are the link between homeless and unhealthy to healthy and adopted for the precious souls we take in. Fostering is truly the most important part of rescue. If you're interested in opening your home to a foster pet that fits with your pack, please email us foster@liveloveanimalrescue.org.

In addition to generous donations from members of the community, Live Love Animal Rescue is also supported by our venture, Live Love Pet Care, where "With every pet care service you order, Live Love helps an animal in need." We are a social enterprise that believes in business for good, in allowing our clients to be our benefactors, and in evolving the seemingly separate pet care and animal rescue industries into one. "Live to Rescue. Love to Care.™"
