Is this cool or what?! After over a year, Sparky/RC FINALLY has a new home where he is loved and appreciated!! We hope you'll check out SNIPPP's available animals, to see if your new best friend is waiting here for you.
I'm Sparky, but I'm so affectionate to people, I could have been named the Lovebug, too. My only dream is to find a person or better yet, a family who will give me a chance to show how much love I have to give. I'm a long-legged, tail-waggin' smile machine; getting petted and talked to are what life is all about for me! Oh, and running around tossing my toys in the air is pretty fun, too. I'm calm, know how to behave indoors, and have a short coat that doesn't shed much at all. I understand 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'; I walk well on a leash, and I'm a smart boy who pays attention--I could easily learn other commands, too, if you'd like to teach me. A lot of the time I'm not friendly to other dogs, so I need to find a home without other pets. I wish SO MUCH that someone would give me a chance--it's sad for me to feel like no one loves me enough to adopt me. SNIPPP would pay for my adopters to have a couple of sessions with a trainer so that they understand how to keep me out of trouble when I'm around other dogs.
More about Sparky
Is Not Good with Dogs, Good with Kids
Special Needs: Sparky often is not tolerant of other dogs, so a home without other pets would be best for him, although it is possible that he could get along with an adult female dog of a similar size. If you're looking for a GREAT family dog to live with you in your home and your safely fenced yard who is super affectionate, loyal, and happy, this boy fits that description perfectly.
