My story

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

ADOPTION ALERT: Meet SOSA! Your Next High-Drive Partner is Here!
Looking for an incredibly smart, driven, and handsome companion? Stop scrolling! Meet Sosa, the magnificent Belgian Malinois mix!

Just like his purebred relatives often seen doing police work, Sosa is a high-energy go-getter who thrives on having a job. He`s not your average couch potato—he’s looking for a dedicated owner ready to match his incredible brainpower and athleticism!

What Makes Sosa So Special?
Brainiac Alert: Sosa is brilliantly smart and already knows lots of commands! He loves a challenge and is super eager to show off what he`s learned. Think agility, advanced obedience, or canine sports—this boy is ready for it all!

A `Job` Enthusiast: This dog needs mental and physical stimulation. If you`re looking for a dog to train, run with, and engage with daily, Sosa is your perfect match.

Manners in Progress: He is working hard on channeling his high enthusiasm and energy. With consistency and direction, this bright boy quickly understands what`s expected of him.

Sosa`s Ideal Home:
Due to his high energy and enthusiasm, Sosa is looking for a home that understands and respects his drive.

Experienced Hand: A home with previous experience with high-drive, working breeds is preferred.

Adults Only (or Older Teens): He is too excited around unfamiliar children, so a home without visiting young kids would be best.

No Felines: Sosa has a strict `no cats` policy!

If you`re an active, consistent, and experienced person who is looking for a loyal, challenging, and incredibly rewarding partner, you need to meet Sosa!

Stop by SPARC today and ask about this amazing dog! Let`s get this brilliant boy to his forever home!
