About Sparky

Sparky is a sweet, fun-loving boy with a playful spirit. He thrives when he's playing with other dogs and adores his chew toys. You can often find him enjoying his designated meal times at 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. While he's a bit nervous in the car, he settles down quickly, though he may softly whine because he loves to be close to a human. Despite being full of energy, Sparky knows when it’s cuddle time and enjoys napping on laps or hanging out beside you. He’s quite responsive to commands and very treat motivated, making training sessions enjoyable. Spark is crate trained and sleeps soundly in his crate at night, though he’s still perfecting his housebreaking skills. A bit of a talker, he has a charming husky-like vocalization. While he’s not the biggest fan of baths, he tolerates them and allows for nail clipping while in the tub. His short, wire coat dries quickly without fussing about the blow dryer. He’s currently on Sam's Club sensitive stomach dog food along with some homemade wet food. Sparky is truly a wonderful little dog! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
