About Sprout

  • Shar Pei, Cross
  • Male
  • Good with children
  • 10 months
  • Pukekohe Adoption and Education Centre

Personality:

 

Sprout is a gentle and curious boy. He loves being around people and soaking up attention and affection. He will play with his toys alone but much prefers spending time around people. 

 

Tamariki – 10+ as he can be shy around loud noises and sudden movements.
Cats – He is interested in the cats and will likely chase. No cats.

Kūri – Rude when meeting dogs but is working on this.
Stock/poultry – Untested, likely to chase. 
Size – Currently 21.4kgs and is likely fully grown. 

 

Ideal home:

 

We are looking for a home with Sharpei breed experience or knowledge. Sprout will benefit from ongoing training and controlled socialisation with other dogs so he can continue to learn and practice his manners and how to meet dogs nicely. He is a shy, gentle boy but once he builds confidence, we believe he will be a truly stand out dog!

From shelter to snuggles, could you be Sprout's forever home?
