Story
This 4-year-old hound mix is as sweet as her name and is so ready to find her forever family. She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, and officially searching for her happily ever after after being rescued from the euthanasia list at the local shelter last year.. Sprinkles is house trained, friendly with other dogs, and adores people of all ages. She does have an old injury on one of her back legs, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit—she just may limp if she overdoes it. What she really wants is a cozy indoor home where she can be your loyal companion. She is under the care of Northeast Georgia Animal Shelter. Sprinkles’ only request? No cats, please! If you're looking for a loving, gentle girl to complete your family, Sprinkles may be the perfect match. Applications to adopt can be found at harthumane.org. If you cannot adopt a pet at this time but would like to support our rescue, donations can be mailed to Hart County Humane Society P.O. BOX 1062 Hartwell GA. 30643 or online at harthumane.org. The Hart County Humane Society is an all-volunteer rescue, we receive no government funding and rely on donations to fund our lifesaving programs ##2670397##
