Meet Sparrow - your new best friend in the making! This handsome, sweet boy may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, Sparrow reveals just how loving and gentle he truly is. His finder described him as calm, friendly, and affectionate, and he showed those qualities right away by riding quietly in the car on the way to BARCS. He's the kind of dog who doesn't demand attention but quietly wins you over with his soft presence and warm heart.

At the shelter, Sparrow has shown himself to be a polite and composed companion. He walks nicely on leash, occasionally pulling in excitement, but he's easily redirected and quickly settles into step with you. He's non-reactive to people and other dogs, calmly observing his surroundings with a quiet curiosity. He already knows "sit" and is eager to show off his manners, especially if treats are involved! Sparrow also appears to be housetrained, making him an easy addition to any home.

Since moving into a foster home, Sparrow has continued to shine. His foster describes him as a charming, extremely cuddly, and attentive companion who is happiest when he's close to his people. Whether he's following you into the kitchen or curling up beside you on the sofa, Sparrow makes it clear that he just wants to be where you are. He's discovered the joys of soft furniture and now claims every cozy corner for cuddle time.

One of Sparrow's most heart-melting traits is the way he connects through gentle affection-he'll softly place his head in your hand, or lean in for a hug with a calm, trusting gaze. He's been sweet and friendly with every new person he's met, quickly winning hearts with his calm energy and soulful presence. He's also met other dogs at the shelter and proved to be a social and playful pup, happy to engage in friendly interactions.

Sparrow enjoys car rides and has shown excellent manners on the road, making him a great companion for adventures or errands. He's learning the "wait" command and continues to pick up new things quickly thanks to his eagerness to please and his love of snacks. He's also got a gentle playfulness that comes through when he feels comfortable-just the right mix of mellow and fun.

This special boy is ready for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and included. If you're looking for a kind, quiet soul who will stick by your side and fill your days with affection, Sparrow could be the one. He's the type of dog who makes a house feel like home.

Sparrow is currently in a foster home. If you're interested in meeting him, please complete an application and email dogfosters@barcs.org to be connected with his foster family.
