My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sparky, the ultimate fur friend who's got it all! He's a playful, happy-go-lucky pup who loves snuggling and being a lap dog. He's gentle and sweet, not to mention super social with humans, other dogs, and even cats. He craves attention and absolutely adores getting belly rubs. His toy collection is impressive too, especially his stuffed toys and squeakers, which he gladly shares.



 



Sparky is quite the gentleman too.  While he's not a fan of crates, he's such a good boy on a leash. With his leash manners, he doesn't necessarily need a fenced yard, but he absolutely loves having one. It's his own personal kingdom!  His size and adventurous spirit says any fence of his needs to have solid panels or narrow spacing. And if you're living in an apartment, that's totally cool too, as long as he gets his exercise, playtime, and daily walks.



 



When it comes to Sparky's daily routine, he starts his day with a trip outside, a hearty half-cup of dry food for breakfast, and plenty of playtime. Throughout the day, he'll take naps and enjoy another outdoor outing after his person returns from work. For dinner, he has another half-cup of food, sometimes mixed with a little wet food for a special treat. And in the evenings, you've got the perfect couch potato.  He'll happily join you on the couch for a cozy night in. In fact, he loves spending time with his person so much, his favorite activity is simply being by your side.



 



Sparky would thrive in a loving, multigenerational family, a stay-at-home or work-from-home family, or even with a couple who have opposite work schedules. His gratitude for your love will brighten your day, and his happy cries during playtime will crack you up. He's a sweetheart who never tires of kisses from his person.



 



So why wait? Bring Sparky into your life and let the fun and love begin!



As part of Sparky’s $300 adoption fee, he will be neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and current on his monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives. If you have questions about this sweet little boy, you can email Dogteam@pawsforlifenc.org.  If you wish to adopt Sparky, you can fill in an online application for him under the Adopt a Pet Tab on our website:  www.pawsforlifenc.org.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. Review the description of the pet you are interested in to make sure that the information we have fits with your particular needs and desires. In most cases, the information on the website is current and gives the information that we have about the particular pet. The picture of the pet does not tell the whole story.

2. Complete the adoption application. Please make sure that you give us as much information about yourself as you can. List all animals currently living with you including other dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. The application needs to be complete in order to help us determine if the pet you have chosen is a good match for your home. http://pawsforlifenc.org/pet-adoptions/apply-for-adoption/

3. Once the application is submitted we will contact you, your references, and your vet.

4. We require a home visit prior to dog adoptions.

5. If more than one person applies, we will go with the BEST fit. If all things are equal, we go in the order the applications were received.

6. Once the home visit has been completed, you will be asked to complete an adoption agreement.

7. An adoption fee of $275 for dogs under 6 months $250 for 6 months and older and $95 for cats, Senior Cats $50. This fee helps us to provide the necessary medical care and other needs for the pets while in foster care.

8. All Paws For Life pets are spayed or neutered if old enough, current on shots, micro chipped, and to our knowledge, in good health before they are adopted out. Puppies under 6 months of age will require a $100 spay/neuter deposit in addition to the adoption fee and a special puppy spay/neuter agreement. We are all volunteers and receive no monetary compensation for our work with the pets. The adoption fee is used to help defray costs in the rescue and care of the pets.

9. Congratulations! You are on your way to having your new companion. We hope that you and your new companion share a life of love and happiness. We welcome any comments you may wish to give us about your pet at any time.
