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 the 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 will gently put her paws on your chest to sniff your face. Sit down with her and she will put her head on your shoulder. This soft, sweet, girl is ready for her new home.

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. They do not need to be adopted together, but what's better than one hound? Two?!

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.
