Sparkler's Story

Meet Sparkler!<br/>Born April 14, 2025<br/><br/>Hey there, hooman! I’m Sparkler!<br/><br/>What’s up! I’m Sparkler, your soon-to-be favorite little ball of fur, zoomies, and unconditional love. I was born on April 14, 2025, and I’ve already had quite the adventure. I came all the way from Texas, and now I’m a 7-month-old, 20-pound wiggle-butt bursting with energy and cuddles.<br/><br/>I’m not going to get very big, so don’t worry — I’ll always fit perfectly in your lap (and probably your shoulder, too… sorry, not sorry). I’m about 98% potty trained, and I already know how to sit. …We’re working on “lay down,” but honestly, “wiggle, bounce, and do my happy hops” is way more fun.<br/><br/>I’m a total foodie, so if you’ve got snacks, I’ve got tricks. I adore humans of all ages — kids especially — and I get along great with other dogs. I haven’t met many cats yet, but I’m keeping an open mind.<br/><br/>I’m healthy, up to date on everything I need, and so ready to find my forever family.<br/><br/>My favorite things include enrichment pads, stuffed toys, fetch, cuddles, walks, and food. Lots of food.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, slightly chaotic little sidekick who will make you laugh every single day — I’m your girl.<br/><br/>Love and slobbery kisses,<br/>Sparkler<br/><br/>Our standard adoption fee is $375 if paid by cash or check, or $385 if paid by credit card (which includes a $10 processing fee). This fee covers spay/neuter surgery when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative, and microchipping. <br/><br/>In order to be considered for adoption, we require a fully completed application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with your entire family. Please note that submitting an application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee approval—it simply allows us to begin the review process. <br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting or would like additional information, please email us at adopt@safehavendogsIL.org to request an application. <br/><br/>Keep in mind that the breed and size listed in each dog's biography are our best educated guesses and are not guaranteed. <br/><br/>Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant for any reason.
