8 years, Male, Small
My name is Sparky, but don’t let the name fool you—I’m a mellow 8-year-old, 30-pound sweetheart who believes that the best moments in life are the quiet ones spent snuggled up together. While I might not bounce off the walls like I did when I was a young pup, I do have plenty of love to give and make a fantastic companion for someone looking for a loving, devoted friend.
After my family moved and couldn’t take me along, I found myself with a wonderful rescue who have shown me what it’s like to be cherished. Now, I’m ready to share that warmth, loyalty, and affection with my forever family.
Routine is my happy place—I like to know what’s coming next and I thrive with gentle guidance. Quick movements (especially from little ones) can make me nervous due to my past, so I’d do best in a home without children. But I get along well with other friendly dogs! In fact, I currently share my foster home with a dog companion, and we get along just fine. As for cats, they’re not really my style, but I wish them well.
Couch time and cuddle sessions are absolutely my favorites—I’m at my very best when there’s someone to lean into, whether we’re watching movies or just hanging out. Walks are a nice treat too, but I’ll never ask you to go on a marathon; I just like a gentle stroll and some fresh air.
I’m fully house trained, know my basic manners, and always happy to please with a treat. My foster family is helping me work through a bit of separation anxiety, so I’d really love a family who’s around most of the time, preferably in a house with a fenced yard, where I can feel safe and content.
If you’re looking for a loving, low-key companion who will adore snuggling by your side and getting cozy with a calm dog sibling, I could be the perfect fit for your family. I promise, you’ll fall in love with my gentle nature and cuddly ways!
