My story

Sparky is a beautiful work in progress-an expressive boy who's learning that the world isn't so scary when kind people (and playful pups) are by your side.In his kennel, Sparky can get a bit frustrated when he sees other dogs walk by, which can make him seem intense at first. But out in the yard, we saw another side of him. During a gentle introduction with a friendly dog named Winnie, Sparky seemed almost surprised that he was allowed to engage. With her calm and playful invitations, he slowly opened up-and soon, he was happily joining in and enjoying the moment.Winnie read him well and had no hesitation around him, which gave Sparky the confidence to relax and have fun. It was a lovely first meeting, and we'll continue helping Sparky build on these positive experiences.He may need a little extra time to settle in and feel safe, but Sparky is showing us he's capable of growth, connection, and joy. With the right support and a patient heart, this boy will absolutely shine.If you're interested in learning more about him, please reach out to our volunteer matchmakers at wcac.matchmaker@gmail.com with the subject line "Sparky 261757".He is up to date on vaccinations, flea/tick, and heartworm prevention, is microchipped, and will be neutered prior to going home. If you have dogs or cats, we recommend slow introductions over time. If you have children in your home, we recommend supervision between animals and children at all times. Primary Color: Brindle- Brown Weight: 55 Age: 6yrs 1mths 2wks

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Sparky, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
