My name is Sparrow. I am a 1 yr old Terrier Mix weighing 9 lbs. My foster mom says that I'm so cute with white fur and a black eye. When she talks to me, I can't hear her because I am Deaf. I don't consider that a handicap at all! I love to run around and play. I love to lay in your lap and sleep in your bed. I am housebroken but not fond of a crate.
I recently had a 1-1/2" benign tumor removed from the back of my neck and once my stitches are out around Nov 19, I can then join a new family.
Because I am deaf, I really need another fur sibling so I have help with sounds around me and a fenced in yard to keep me safe. I also have some anxiety in the car. I would do best in a home with kids over the age of 12.
My foster mom says that you have to get my attention slowly because I do get scared if you sneak up on me. She sometimes blows air on top of my head or taps me lightly.
I'd love a family to love me and care for me. When you meet me, you will fall in love because I am such a lovable little girl.
