Sparkle's Story

Meet Sparkle!<br/><br/>Sparkle is a silly, cuddly little girl with a wonderfully quirky side—she even grunts like a tiny piglet. She’s usually a calm, easygoing companion, with playful bursts of zoomies mixed in. She loves walks, snoozes quietly in her crate overnight, and will happily nudge your hand or arm when she’s ready for pets or a snuggle.<br/><br/>She warms up to new people quickly, but Sparkle has one important preference: she doesn’t like being scooped up suddenly. Once she trusts you, she enjoys being held, but she needs people—especially children—to let her know before picking her up and handle her gently. For that reason, a home with older, dog-savvy children would be the best fit.<br/><br/>Sparkle is comfortable around other dogs. She may bark at bigger dogs at first, then settle in to watch them. She’s doing well with her potty routine, has had no accidents in her foster home, and can hold it overnight. Her foster family keeps her supervised and gives her frequent chances to go out, so she’ll benefit from a consistent routine in her new home. Her comfort with cats and small animals is unknown.<br/><br/>She’s a lovable, calm little goofball who wants to be close to her people—and will make sure you know when it’s time to cuddle.<br/><br/>Sparkles adoption fee is $450.<br/><br/> Bringing Your New Family Member Home:<br/><br/> Adoption Includes:<br/> Age appropriate vaccinations<br/> Neuter surgery<br/> Registered microchip<br/> Fecal exam<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $450<br/><br/> Training:<br/>Training sets everyone up for success and helps create a smooth transition at home.<br/><br/>A $100 cash training deposit is due at adoption. This deposit is fully refundable with proof of completed training. Hopeful Tails also offers training designed to build real world skills. Our trainers have experience working with dogs of all backgrounds. Classes are held at our rescue in partnership with You & Me Dog Training.
