Sparrow is a big ol' hunk of love! And he would absolutely love you if you took him right back to living the good life that he's used to. Unfortunately, 8 year old Sparrow was turned in due to his elderly owners becoming unable to care for him any longer. Sparrow is doing his best not to let things get him down but he's obviously not cut out for shelter-life. He's a people-person and he just loves taking a stroll with a new friend and even chasing after the occasional toy or ball. Sparrow does tend to guard over his things though, like toys and food, so a home with no kids is best. He'll also need to be left alone while he takes his meals. Aside from that, he's a sweet ol' boy and although he's visually-impaired in one eye, that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. Sparrow is well-behaved and will sit and stay when asked, and he takes treats gently too. He's not a fan of cats but he's open to meeting other well-mannered dogs and seeing how it goes. Sparrow hopes you'll welcome him into your life soon! File#72202 4/30/24
