Take the Pet Home
After a rocky start, Sparky is so ready for his happy ending, and maybe, just maybe, you're the one to give it to him.
Sparky is 5 years old and just 20lbs, he is the definition of a homebody. Snuggled up next to you on the couch, belly up for rubs, while you binge-watch cooking shows or unwind with your favorite series is his perfect day too. He’s mellow, affectionate, and an absolute expert in the fine art of napping.
After being surrendered by the family he grew up with, he was understandably shaken (where he lived with young kids). While his next home wasn’t the right fit, Sparky didn’t give up. With the support of a fantastic trainer (@ace_pets_services), he’s made amazing progress, especially with his leash reactivity, and continues to improve every single day.
Sparky’s Favorite Things:
Cuddles & belly rubs
Watching you cook (he’s a five-star sous-chef)
Treats, praise, and routine
Calm, cozy environments
What Sparky’s Great At:
House-trained and crate-trained (he sleeps soundly in his crate at night)
Knows the “No” command
Loves structure and consistent routines
Incredible potential with the right guidance
What He’s Working On:
Leash reactivity to dogs and new people (but improving with training)
Calm greetings with visitors
Desensitization with tools like the pet corrector and positive reinforcement
Who Sparky’s Looking For:
While generally calm around children, Sparky may react similarly to how he does with adults at times, so respectful, dog-savvy older kids or an adult-only home might be best. He’s reactive around other dogs on walks but continues to improve with consistent training and redirection, and is the absolute SWEETEST inside.
Despite the ups and downs, Sparky hasn’t lost his gentle spirit. With the right home, there’s no doubt he’ll blossom into the loyal, loving companion you’ve been dreaming of. Please apply to adopt him at rescuecity.nyc/adopt
