Vivian's Story

When responding PLEASE use application at sparrowdogs.com, or you can also provide your information via email,such as:home, family, yard/fence, other pets, ages of people in the home, work hours...Thanks!<br/><br/>Meet sweet Vivian...or as her friends call her, Vivi!! The name suits her, Vivi has tons of VVVVVVVVRROOOOM!! She is just 9 months old and we think she is part Chihuahua and part Jack Russel Terrier. As a home that has loved JRT's and adore their personalities, Vivi fits the bill. She has the look as well, a nice little JRT face with perhaps more of the Chi size. She is just a petite 10 pounds. <br/><br/>Vivi was at a very large and busy shelter, where she was very well taken care of, but she was a bit overwhelmed with all the hustle and bustle. She was not settling in well and certainly not letting her little sunshine of a personality light up. Happens so often, it is just a tough environment and really hard to get a good read on who this little dog really is. So, she came out to us and joined our crew, and boy, did she shine! <br/><br/>The first moments she was very cautious, but she checked us out and we passed the sniff test, lol. Vivi is great with the other dogs but has made Joey, another foster dog( a young maltipoo) her best pal. The two of them LOVE to zoom around the yard and play tag. Although Vivi can be a very active dog, she is also a world class snuggler. If there is a lap to be had, she will claim it as her own. Vivi has been doing great with her housebreaking, we do take very frequent breaks outside and her new family will need to continue to reinforce her training. <br/><br/>Vivi will do best in an active home, a fenced yard with another active dog would be great. She is shy meeting new people, so she could use some patience and understanding that she is not going to warm up right away, she can be a little cautious. We think she will be fine with older kids, no little ones at this time. She is a wonderful little dog and will be lucky person/family's best pal!! <br/><br/>Her adoption fee is $400. Please email Kristine with your info/application at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Eye on the Sparrow's Adoption Policy
   We try to make adopting a dog or cat a pleasant and fairly easy experience but also try to make the best possible fit for each dog or cat and the people involved. After being contacted by an individual we will respond with an email and attach an application as well. We will follow up with any questions or concerns and will do a phone consult as well.  Remember all or our dogs are at volunteer foster homes and we do our best to get back to any inquiries as soon as is possible.  Adoption fees help defer many of  expenses such as medical care or other costs incurred by the dogs and are usually around $250, although some of the dogs can be adopted for less due to sponsors, special needs and senior programs, and some of the more "sought" after breeds and puppies generally have a higher adoption fee to help (pays for the extra surgeries, meds..so we can take special needs dogs).
