Sprinkles

Age: 2 years
Sex: Female
Color: White & Black Spotted
Breed: Dalmatian / Bull Terrier

Personality Profile: She was a wonderful mama dog who raised her beautiful puppies, and they all got adopted. She sat at the county shelter awaiting her new home, and sadly that never happened. Now she is here awaiting her new home. ***UPDATE*** June 29th: My husband & I took Sprinkles to the Durham Bulls baseball game on Sunday as a promotional event for Paws. I am astounded at how well Sprinkles did with ALL of the activity and the heat. She was exceptionally patient & tolerant with tons of very little children who were all over her face and ears! Everyone (big & small!) loved her! I simply don't know why this sweet girl hasn't found her "forever family" yet. She has just mastered "down" & is quite proud of herself! ***Sprinkles is going back to Paws4Ever this Thursday, July 1st so you can go by and meet her, play with her, take her for a walk, and then take her home! *** May: This is Sprinkle's foster mom. I am SO proud of this smart and sweet girl! She is doing great with her leash manners, except for the occasional squirrel or bunny! She now simply ignores the other dogs when they bark at her during our walks. She is amazingly patient and tolerant of little ones. We had a 6 year old house guest for a few days and they got along great! As soon as our guest sat on the floor with her, Sprinkles sat in his lap and licked his face :o). She likes to be busy and LOVES to be outside, on the back deck sunning or taking a walk. If you and/or your family are hikers, walkers, runners, etc., she would love to accompany you! She is VERY affectionate and will stand or sit on me whenever I sit on the floor! After all, I DO exist to pet her, hug her, and tell her how beautiful she is, right?! She is completely house and crate trained and also does not chew on anything, like furniture, electrical cords, etc. Sprinkles is comfortable in the car and she doesn't even ask, "Are we there yet"?!?!? "Wait" is the newest word that she has learned so when the door opens, she waits for me to tell her it's OK to go out. We also "wait" at the side of the road when a car is coming. I was extremely proud of her when we went to an adopt-a-thon this past Saturday. She was a little excited about all of the other dogs and couldn't meet all of them fast enough. But she finally realized that if she laid on her back with her feet in the air, she would get countless belly rubs! She's no dummy! If Sprinkles sounds like a "must have" in your family, please call Paws and they will let me know! I'll be glad to answer any questions over the phone or find a time for you to meet her!
