JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- Meet Sparrow. This glossy little girl loves to hear the sound of kisses, and she will give you some in return. She has adorable eyebrows and tiny tan paws.

Sparrow is a Rottweiler and Blue Heeler mix, approximately one to two years of age and weighs approximately 40 pounds. Sparrow has the colors of a Rotty and her coat is wavy and thick like a Heeler. She loves to give kisses, and she will never refuse a treat.

Due to her breed, she has herding instincts. So she will be protective of her forever family. Sparrow is an intelligent young lady and enjoys training and learning new tricks. She needs a family who is engaging and wants to work with her each day, presenting her with new and exciting challenges.

Sparrow has a sister named Starling who is also available for adoption. So come in and meet this little fluffy love bug.
