A committed home is required for him to make the trip, and we’re hoping someone will step up for this sweet boy. <br/><br/>Meet Sprout <br/><br/>Sprout is a 5-month-old Lab/Shar Pei mix who is just a big squishy puppy looking for love. He and his brother, Spud, were found as strays and ended up in an Arkansas shelter, where they are now sadly on the euthanasia list. Sprout deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead. <br/><br/>With his wrinkly face and gentle expression, Sprout is hard not to fall for. He has a sweet, friendly personality and enjoys spending time with people. He’s playful like any puppy, but he also loves affection and being close to his humans. <br/><br/>Sprout gets along well with other dogs and kids, and with slow introductions he will likely do fine with cats. Since he’s still young, he’ll need guidance with crate training, potty training, and learning how to walk nicely on a leash. With the right home and a little patience, he’ll grow into an amazing companion. <br/><br/>Sprout currently weighs about 35 lbs and will be neutered before transport, so he’ll be ready to make the trip north and start his new life. <br/><br/>Age: 5 months <br/>Gender: Male <br/>Weight: 35 lbs <br/>Breed: Lab / Shar Pei mix <br/>Spayed/Neutered: Scheduled <br/>Potty Trained: No – still learning <br/>Crate Trained: No – will need training <br/>Leash Manners: Needs work <br/>Good with Dogs: Yes <br/>Good with Cats: Likely with proper introduction <br/>Good with Kids: Yes <br/><br/>Sprout is hoping someone will give him the chance he’s been waiting for.
