About Sprout

Sprout Needs a Foster or Adopter by March 14, 2026 to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin Sprout is currently in a kill shelter in Arkansas and needs a FOSTER or ADOPTER to secure his spot on the transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue on March 14, 2026. A committed home is required for him to make the trip, and we're hoping someone will step up for this sweet boy. Meet Sprout Sprout is a 5-month-old Lab/Shar Pei mix who is just a big squishy puppy looking for love. He and his brother, Spud, were found as strays and ended up in an Arkansas shelter, where they are now sadly on the euthanasia list. Sprout deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving home instead. With his wrinkly face and gentle expression, Sprout is hard not to fall for. He has a sweet, friendly personality and enjoys spending time with people. He's playful like any puppy, but he also loves affection and being close to his humans. Sprout gets along well with other dogs and kids, and with slow introductions he will likely do fine with cats. Since he's still young, he'll need guidance with crate training, potty training, and learning how to walk nicely on a leash. With the right home and a little patience, he'll grow into an amazing companion. Sprout currently weighs about 35 lbs and will be neutered before transport, so he'll be ready to make the trip north and start his new life.
