Meet Sparky, a big goofball with a majestic appearance. We love his pointy nose, adorable ears and soulful eyes.
Sparky may be a bit shy at first, but slowly warms up to other dogs. He's currently living with another dog in his foster home, and the two enjoy running around outside and romping around the living room. He also enjoys playing with his toys - his favorite is a Christmas stuffed moose, which he'll thrash around and then sleep on. He has a good amount of energy but is just as happy snoozing on the couch while you scratch his ears. He's the perfect blend of calm and playful.
Like many young dogs, Sparky is still getting the hang of new commands/training. However, he's proved to be a good listener and a fast learner. He caught onto potty training quickly and is an absolute dream walks. We're confident he'll grow up to be a trusty companion.
This easy-going boy would thrive with a family who will be patient with him as he undergoes his training. He's a big sweetheart and we'd love to see him in a household who will provide him with the love and dedication he deserves.
