My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sparky is just that - a spark of life. Sparky is being fostered in a home with children and is friendly with everyone. He is especially handsome too. He's somewhat house trained. Jess is working on that. He's very smart - he learned sit, stay & come. He loves to play. A VERY active dog - he doesn't seem to shed - or if he does shed- it's very little. Very strong prey drive so he would not be good in a home with cats or small animals.
His owners abandoned him in the home they were renting. Jess, the neighbor, stepped up to save him from going to the shelter. She is getting him vetted and ready for adoption while she fosters him. If you'd like to meet him, please Email us at adopt@thisisthedog.com and we will get you in touch with her.
