About this Dog
SPARROW HAS NOT COMPLETED HER VETTING AND WILL NOT BE SPAYED UNTIL SEPTEMPER 25. APPLICATIONS ARE ONLY BEING ACCEPTED FROM WITHIN A 30 MINUTE RADIUS OF DES MOINES UNTIL AFTER SHE HAS BEEN SPAYED. Sparrow is a female, approximate 8 lbs., Bearded Collie mix puppy born in our rescue on June 2, 2025. She is 10 weeks old on August 11. Her momma is 35 lbs., and we don't know who daddy is, but we expect Sparrow to be a medium sized dog full grown, likely under 45 lbs. Sparrow will do well with dogs, cats, and kids with supervised introductions, training, and experience. Sparrow is a sweet, active, and loveable girl who is working on her aspirations to be a future toy hoarder! She LOVES all toys!! She enjoys belly rubs, and sneaks in kisses whenever she can. She loves to go for adventures outside and especially enjoys playing hide and seek and keep away! She has a happy tail that goes 24/7. She enjoys the company of her foster fur siblings and would likely enjoy another dog in the home to play with. But she'd also make a great "only fur child" if someone is willing to include her in all their adventures!! She is working on potty training and does well in a kennel at night and while her foster family is away. Sparrow would love a yard to spread her wings and fly (or run)!!! If you want a fabulous canine companion to adventure with, and don't mind supporting her toy hoarding, Sparrow is your gal! Siblings: Starling (F), Robin (F), Chickadee (F), Sparrow (F), Dove (F), Finch (M), Crow (M), Wren (M), and Hawk (M) If you are interested in meeting this puppy, please complete an online application at https://hopeanimalrescueofiowa.duplie.com/forms/196/dog-application Adoption fee is $300 which includes spay/neuter, microchip, and age appropriate vaccines.

Adopt Sparrow and Receive Sparrow's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Sparrow's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Sparrow's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Sparrow, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Sparrow's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Sparrow was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Sparrow’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Sparrow’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Sparrow’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
