Information:
Sparky is a great older gent. He was found by the Animal Control office in April of this year. He was matted, dirty, and thin with a skin tumor on his right hind leg. He was what we call a “Throw away”. Perhaps his owner passed away or was put in a nursing home and he was no longer wanted. He was once loved by somebody who had him neutered and had one eye removed and was taught manners like how to sit stay and come. He has a little arthritis in his right hip and suffers from muscle atrophy but is slowly recovering. Sparky wants a home where he can run free and play. He likes all people and animals he meets. Currently he lives with a foster cat who tells him to be good but would do best with a home without a cat. Please give this older Gent a place in your home and he will give you never dying Love.
