SPARROW - BEARDED COLLIE / TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bearded Collie / Terrier / Mixed (short coat). SPARROW HAS NOT COMPLETED HER VETTING AND WILL NOT BE SPAYED UNTIL SEPTEMPER 25. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. Sparrow is a female, approximate 8 lbs., Bearded Collie mix puppy born in our rescue on June 2, 2025. She is 10 weeks old on August 11. Her momma is 35 lbs., and we don't know who daddy is, but we expect Sparrow to be a medium sized dog full grown, likely under 45 lbs. Sparrow will do well with dogs, cats, and kids with supervised introductions, training, and experience. Sparrow is a sweet, active, and loveable girl who is working on her aspirations to be a future toy hoarder! She LOVES all toys!! She enjoys belly rubs, and sneaks in kisses whenever she can. She loves to go for adventures outside and especially enjoys playing hide and seek and keep away! She has a happy tail that goes 24/7. She enjoys the company of her foster fur siblings and would likely enjoy another dog in the home to play with. But she'd also make a great "only fur child" if someone is willing to include her in all their adventures!! She is working on potty training and does well in a kennel at night and while her foster family is away. Sparrow would love a yard to spread her wings and fly (or run)!!! If you want a fabulous canine companion to adventure with, and don't mind supporting her toy hoarding, Sparrow is your gal! Siblings: Starling (F), Robin (F), Chickadee (F), Sparrow (F), Dove (F), Finch (M), Crow (M), Wren (M), and Hawk (M) If you are interested in meeting this puppy, please complete an online application at hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.
