Meet Sprocket

Every day is a new adventure for Sprocket and it will also be for his forever family. Sprocket is a two-year-old, 15 lb. terrier that was found as a stray in Boston. This smart little firecracker loves to play, run, and jump. He tries to get to anything and everything that he finds remotely interesting. And he’s excellent at getting to nearly everything because he’s so clever and athletic. He will be happy to help you “wash” the dishes as he can get on countertops with a little practice.

This part cat, part circus performer loves chewing toys, playing tug and fetch. He also loves giving and receiving loves.

Sprocket loves is over the moon when he has a canine playmate with a kindred spirit and will tirelessly play tag. He sometimes will bark, poke and whine at other dogs who don’t want to play when he does.

Despite all his antics, Sprocket can be very low key and cuddly. He is very happy in his crate and will go there to nap. He will get into his crate if directed to do so. If he’s asleep when you approach him, he often rolls on his back for belly rubs, smiles with his eyes and wags his tail.

Like all of us, Sprocket is not without his faults. He needs a proper introduction with humans coming into his territory (he is fine with humans on the street) And, while he is fine with eating his meals alongside other dogs, he will guard purloined food items like they stand between him and starvation. The guy also has a bark and is not afraid to use it.

Sprocket walks pretty well on a leash. He is housetrained, food motivated and very smart. He can routinely sleeps in a crate at night if that’s what his new parents prefer. He needs an adult-only home, with owner(s) who can manage his behavior and give him the exercise he craves. Because he can be passionate about barking, he is not appropriate as an apartment dog.

Sprocket is being fostered to in Somerville, MA. His adoption fee is $350. If you are interested in Sprocket, please go to Alldogrescue.org and complete an adoption application at http://alldogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs/adoption-application/
