Sparky's Story

Hi world, I’m Sparky: a spunky senior Chihuahua with the chaotic energy of a toddler after three Red Bulls and the charm of an unhinged soap opera villain. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “I want a dog who is equal parts adorable, gross, and slightly unwell,” then congratulations, you may be my one true match.<br/><br/>Here’s what you’re getting into:<br/><br/>- I have approximately 5 teeth, and I use them to make alarming mouth noises while kissing you with my entire tongue.<br/><br/>-Food is my religion. I would sell my soul for a chicken nugget.<br/><br/>- I have a giant Olaf stuffy who is my boyfriend. Yes, it’s serious. Yes, we’re in love. Don’t ask questions.<br/><br/>- I live for blanket burritos. If I disappear, just check under a blanket mountain.<br/><br/>- I am what the professionals call “a marker.” Translation: I think every square inch of Earth belongs to me. I’m learning to rock a belly band like it’s high fashion.<br/><br/>-Nail trims? Forget it. If you come at me with clippers, I will turn into Cujo. Respect my boundaries.<br/><br/>Now don’t get me wrong, I am also ridiculously cute. I am small enough to carry like a football, have eyes that pop out of my skull and say “I know your secrets,” and a gremlin energy that will keep you endlessly entertained. I may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for the right person, I am the whole pot of slightly unhinged espresso.<br/><br/>So if you’ve got a soft spot for senior chaos gremlins who are equal parts disgusting and delightful, I’m your guy. Apply today and prepare to be adored (and maybe drooled on).<br/><br/>I am up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, dewormed, microchipped, and heartworm negative.<br/>The cost to adopt is $250 and the adoption process begins with an Adoption Application that is located at: www.faithfulfriendsnc.org/adopt<br/>Once your completed application has been reviewed the humans will contact you with questions and/or set an appointment for you to meet me. Thank you! Please read all guidelines before sending in an application. Do not reach out to the sanctuary about the status of your application, we will contact you if we are interested in setting up an appointment.
