SPARKY ATHENS - LABRADOR RETRIEVER / SHEPHERD / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed. Sparky is an 8.5-month-old, 37 lb happy-go-lucky pup who brings an easy, joyful energy wherever he goes. He&rsquo;s the kind of dog who just enjoys life&mdash;whether that&rsquo;s soaking up affection, going for a walk, or hanging out by your side. He walks well on leash and already has some basic training under his belt, making him a great fit for someone looking for a dog who&rsquo;s past the tiny puppy phase but still young and eager to learn. At his current size, he likely won&rsquo;t grow much more, making him a perfect medium-sized companion. Sparky is friendly with both people and other dogs and has a sweet, affectionate personality that makes him easy to love. He&rsquo;s the type of dog who will happily be your sidekick for whatever the day brings. Sparky is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines.
