My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Sprite's name really fits. She is an elf-like being—dainty on her feet, who springs upright into air, who glides as she runs. This trim, 37 pound girl could follow you like a shadow or play hide-n-seek with you in the woods. She loves the world and every one she meets.

She is rooming with her dog friend, Dr Pepper, who she thinks is wonderful. You know what they say-”Birds of a Feather Flock Together.” Both are hounds. We guess he thinks she's pretty cute with her adorable folded ears, her floppy tongue, and her eyes like liquid amber.

We think Sprite has a magical personality and fairy-tale looks. If you like a dog that will keep you grinning and love you like no other, come meet Sprite.
