Sparky came to us with a broken front leg. Due to the location of the fracture
and the time it had been since his injury, repairing it via surgery would have been very difficult and possibly not successful.
Because of this, amputation was recommended...however the surgeon also mentioned just leaving it as-is since he was walking on it and it didn't
seem to affect his mobility. There is a good likelihood that he will develop arthritis at some point however. So his adopters would need to be
able to manage that if/when it happens.
Here is what his fostermom has to say about this cutie:
Sparky is a spunky, handsome, brown and white, estimated DOB 3/2023, 14-pound Shih Tzu who has the personality of a goofy teddy bear. He is a talkative guy and likes his opinions to be known. He has shown to be good with adults and children over 5. He gets along with other friendly dogs, but loves to pester the cats in his foster home. So a forever home without cats would suit him best. He’s doing great as far as potty training goes, but will need scheduled back yard potty breaks to get him into the routine in his new home. He came into the rescue with an injured left leg and it is possible he will need medical care in the future (all information will be given to potential adopters). Long walks are not really his thing, but he would love to stroll and sniff around his own fenced yard. Apartments would not be a good fit for him due to his talkative nature. ?

Our Mission Statement...
Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to aid stray, abandoned, and neglected animals. In addition to animals rescued and adopted by our organization, SIAR is also dedicated to help other independent animal rescuers find their foster animals the loving homes they deserve. To date, thousands of dogs and cats have been rescued and placed into wonderful homes in the past few years. In order to provide these services, we work with the community shelters, rescue organizations, and individuals who have animals with special needs and place these animals in permanent homes after they reach a stage of wellness.
Our mission is to provide loving, permanent homes for animals that have been abused, abandoned, or lost, which otherwise would not be with us today. Many of our rescued animals, especially those that were rescued from the shelters initially had kennel cough, pneumonia, or giardia with the extreme cases having the parvo or distemper viruses. In addition, a high percentage of animals are malnourished and require special dietary demands. We rely on tax deductible cash donations as well as food and other pet supplies that will allow us to continue to save lives!
**** WE ARE IN GREAT NEED OF DONATIONS AS MANY OF THE ANIMALS WE RESCUE HAVE COSTLY MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND ARE CONSIDERED NON ADOPTABLE AT THE SHELTERS - WE HOPE TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE****
All of our companion pets, have been neutered or spayed, given all current vaccinations, heartworm tested and microchipped. This also provides the community with healthier animals and aids in the reduction of the outspread of illness and future homeless offspring.
The adoption fee for animals being adopted by SIAR can range from $75-$100 (for kitties) and $150-$350 (for dogs) depending on the animal and associated costs. The adoption fee helps up recooperate the thousands of dollars spent yearly on rehabilitation and allows us to continue to rescue animals in need.

Disclaimer: Due to the limited time spent with the rescued animals, Sacramento Independent Animals Rescuers is not responsible for the health, behavior or temperament of the animals listed or adopted by this group.
