Sparky's Story

Sparky / M / 4Y / 7lbs / Chihuahua / Fostered in New Lowell<br/><br/>Sparky is a testament to the resilience of the canine spirit. This sweet-souled little guy ended up at a shelter when he was found as a stray, but you'd never know he'd experienced hardship by his sunny disposition. He's forgiven the world and is ready to shower his forever family with unconditional love.<br/><br/>This pint-sized charmer is a professional cuddler who believes every lap was created specifically for him. He's happiest when tucked close to his humans, whether that's snuggled under a soft blanket, nestled on a cozy pillow, or curled up in bed with his beloved lambchop toy. Sparky has moments of playful energy, but his default setting is calm and content—especially if that calm involves being in close contact with you.<br/><br/>Despite everything he's been through, Sparky radiates joy and trust. He greets the world with enthusiasm and only takes about 30 seconds of shyness before deciding a new person is his new best friend. He's well-mannered on leash, potty trained, and crate trained. He happily sleeps in his crate at night in his foster parents' room and has shown he can handle being left alone (though he'll let you know vocally that he'd prefer you stayed—something apartment dwellers should consider).<br/><br/>Sparky dreams of a home where he won't be alone often. His perfect match would be a retired individual or a work-from-home professional looking for a devoted office mate. He would be ok with children ages 8 and up who understand how to be gentle with small dogs. While he gets along beautifully with other animals, he doesn't necessarily need them—Sparky's world revolves around his people.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal companion who will follow you from room to room, celebrate your presence like you're the best thing that's ever happened to him, and fill your days with gentle affection, Sparky is your guy. He's pure love wrapped in a small, fluffy package, just waiting to make your lap his forever home.<br/><br/>Please complete an adoption application on our website.
