Meet Sparkle, a 9-year-old red merle Mini American Shepherd with captivating blue eyes. Weighing just 26 pounds, this sweet and gentle girl has a shy disposition, and she'll need some time and patience as she adjusts to her new home. Sparkle thrives with the companionship of another confident dog and requires a fenced yard where she can feel safe.

She’s nearly fully potty trained, though she still may have the occasional accident, so a consistent schedule will help her succeed. Sparkle is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and has recently had a dental. She's also on monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention.
