About Sparky

Sparky is a cheerful and confident pup, always eager to make new friends and soak up attention. Having lived with a smaller dog, he’s accustomed to sharing his space and enjoys the company of children aged 6-7. While he’s friendly and adaptable, he will benefit from some positive reinforcement training to help with crate comfort and build his confidence when left alone. Sparky needs regular exercise and enrichment to keep him happy and prevent any destructive behaviors. With an amputated leg, it's important for his future family to be gentle around that area, taking care of his scar as part of his needs. Sparky is ready to embark on a journey filled with love and companionship. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
