To help us make a great fit for you, and any of our dogs as well, please include information about yourself(Home, family, yard/fence, work hours, other pets...) and/or use our application at sparrowdogs.com. Those emails will get the quickest response, we do the best we can, but if we have to follow up with an email asking you about yourself and waiting for a response, well, we have already moved on to the next email that has provided the details. We are doing the best we can to find the right home for each dog or cat, just need your help too! : His real name is Shiitake, you know, like the mushroom. We did not name him, he was given that moniker at the animal control that took him in. But, it is a cutesy name for a very cute boy, he is our little mushroom! The fungus amongus. We just call him "Taki" for short. (we pronounce it Tocky). We are totally in love with Taki, he is simply a brilliant dog!! By that we mean he is of course incredibly handsome(stunning), but also over the top loving to his people and his dog pals. He is so smart, alert and very athletic. He is also very tuned into his people, has great recall and wonderful manners. In fact, he had an adoption with a wonderful couple that fell head over heels for this guy. But sadly, Taki was not terribly fond of city living, he was a bit anxious with all of the sights and sounds. They tearfully brought him back to us knowing that they could not provide what Taki truly may prefer in his life. Taki LOVES being outside, he will be an excellent hiking/jogging/kayaking partner. He also loves water. He will do best in an active home with a fenced yard and another dog buddy would be a huge plus. He is fine with dogs of all shapes and sizes, but probably not cats, he has quite the prey drive(no birds landing in this yard!). Also, Taki will be fine in a home with OLDER children, sorry no little guys. Taki has impeccable house manners and is quite the gentleman. He is young, yet is beyond the chewing stage, although he does love his toys!! As active as he is, he is more than happy to snuggle up to his favorite people for a football game or movie marathon. How perfect is that, an active buddy to keep you active as well, but one that also knows how to mellow indoors and enjoy those quiet, snowy evenings. Taki is just 30 pounds, he is more legs than he is anything. We are guessing on his breed(s). He has the look of a Shiba Inu? Norwegian Elkhound? He is a mix of some sort, Shepard(maybe basenji?), we are not sure. We are sure that he is spectacular, he looks like a regal show dog when he poses. He will do well with a dog savvy family that can guide this young guy in his life to help him reach his full potential. His adoption fee is $300, now $275. Taki has a oodles of things to go home with him including a nice cot and blanket, a harness and leash, toys, treats, food, everything this terrific guy will need!

Cash is almost 2 years old and is a big boy at 100-105 lbs. he is very high energy and his play can get very determined and he doesn’t know his size. needs more more than I can offer. Maybe not the best for small children. He is kennel trained and is afraid of lightning and fireworks. Is good aggressive with his bowl we feed him outside or in his kennel

Hi There! I`m Jessie who is hoping you make me yours! I`m a very friendly girl who just wants to be loved. I enjoy playing with toys and chewing on bones....and getting belly rubs! I also am a huge fan of treats so training me should be lots of fun for both of us. I`m a smart girl and would love to find someone who will keep my brain going, teaching me lots of exciting things to do. I probably wouldn`t be best in a home with small kids or small animals. Honestly, I am a bit of a bossy pants so another larger, yet calm, submissive dog might be best if I need to share my new digs. I also have some anxiety which is one more good reason for me to have opportunities to challenge my brain. If I sound like the girl for you, please stop by and meet me!
