Sparky's Story

Hi there! I'm Sparky, a one and a half-year-old pup with a soft spot for tennis balls, belly rubs, and long walks outside. The start of my life was a little rough as I came from a neglectful situation, but I'm making up for lost time and learning how wonderful it is to just be a dog. Everyone says I'm doing an amazing job, and honestly, I think they're right!<br/><br/>I'm a gentle, slightly shy guy who's looking for a calm, patient forever home with someone who understands that trust takes time. Once I warm up to you, I'll be your loyal shadow and cuddle buddy. I love being brushed, petted, and snuggling on the couch - and if you stop the belly rubs too soon, I'll politely let you know!<br/><br/>Walks are my absolute favorite thing in the world. If you so much as touch my harness, I'll show off my excitement with some joyful, wiggly backflips. I also love being outdoors exploring the yard, playing fetch, or just soaking up the sunshine. When I'm inside, I like to pick one chew toy and work on it with dedication until there's nothing left.<br/><br/>I'm housebroken, smart, and very food-motivated, which makes training both fun and easy. I have lived with cats and get along great with them, but I'd probably do best as the only dog in the home so I can be the star of the show. Dog friends are fine for playdates, but I prefer having my people's full attention.<br/><br/>My dream home would have:<br/><br/>A quiet, patient person or family who is home a lot (maybe someone who works from home or can come home at lunch!)<br/><br/>A fenced yard for playtime and fresh air<br/><br/>Plenty of walks, chew toys, and tennis balls<br/><br/>Lots of love - and belly rubs, please!<br/><br/>If you think we might be a good match, I'd love to meet you. I even qualify for the Foster First program - take me home for a 14-day trial to see if we're the perfect fit. ...
