Sparkle – adopted!

  • Labrador retriever,
  • female,
  • 4 years,
  • 70 lbs.

Sparkle is a 4 year old black Lab who came to Peppertree from a breeding situation. She has had multiple litters of puppies despite her young age. However, Sparkle does not hold that against anyone or anything as she loves people and is doing great with the other dog and cats in her foster home. She is interested in the cats, but apparently just to be their friend as she doesn’t chase and backs away if one gets upset with her wanting to sniff or lick them. Sparkle has been the perfect house guest – she is completely housebroken with zero accidents, is crate trained, follows commands well, and is great on a leash (just wants to sniff everything and enjoy the world). She is an absolute love, wants to please, wants to be by your side, and loves being petted, but is not needy and settles in very well. She enjoys her food, taking naps and is very low key. Being a Lab, however, Sparkle will pursue any wildlife such as squirrels, rabbits, etc. and therefore she must have a fenced yard. Sparkle is about 70 pounds and could possibly knock over very small children, but she is not rambunctious at all, especially for a Lab. Sparkle is ready to claim her own family and give them all her love – which is a lot.
