My story

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

Meet Sprite, a giant cuddle bug who's just bursting with love and personality! This happy-go-lucky guy gets along with everyone-dogs, people of all ages, and even the five cats in his foster home. Sprite is house- and crate-trained, and he knows his basics like "sit, "lie down, and "stay. But his real specialty? Making everyone he meets feel like his new best friend.

Sprite loves nothing more than joining in on morning and evening walks, playtime in the backyard, and a good game of fetch. When he's extra excited, he gets the zoomies and will tear around the yard in wild, joyful loops that'll have you laughing every time. And just wait until you see his "good boy grin-it's pure comedy gold and impossible to resist!

If you're looking for an affectionate, playful, and slightly goofy sidekick who just wants to be close to you, Sprite is your guy. He's ready to bring non-stop joy, endless cuddles, and plenty of laughs to his forever family!
