This handsome bright-eyed and bushy-tailed guy is Sparta! Were guessing that he is an Australian Shepherd mix, about 3-5 years old and 51 lbs.  He is very friendly, outgoing, good-natured and silly - loves to chase bugs and always has a big smile on his face!  Sparta was very busy with ten little girls at his foster sisters birthday party and his foster mom says that "to say that he is excellent with children is an understatement". Sparta is a smart, high energy, athletic dog who needs a great deal of exercise on a daily basis. He would enjoy competing in canine events such as obedience or agility training, or will make a great running partner. Sparta is sweet, sweet, sweet and ready to make a lucky family very happy! Watch a video of Sparta getting some love.
