Meet Scotchie-Sweet Boy!!
His name is really Butterscotch, but his friends call him Scotchie. We think we will call Scotchie, he seems to make a friend of everyone he meets. This sweet little guy just wandered into the neighborhood a few weeks ago, like soooo many before him. Stray cats can come and go in any location, some are truly feral and others like Scotchie are quite social. Perhaps he has had some previous human interaction, so it seems.
Scotchie began making regular appearances around a few houses in the neighborhood and even ended up on our deck with all of our foster dogs!! Well, they scared him up a tree(they are actually pretty harmless)and he eventually made it safely down and on his way. Although we are a dog foster, there is a family next door that are the cat whisperers, not a job they intended on!! So far they have 3 of these local strays, and a family member has 2 more. Scotchie apparently knew where to go.
As evasive as he was initially one day he had a change of heart. Tammy(the cat whisper) came home from work and had the garage door open. Scotchie made his move. He RAN in the garage and started rubbing on Tammy's legs and being very affectionate. His plan worked! Tammy took him down to the cat room downstairs for isolation and to begin his vetting journey. He was checked out, received his vaccinations and was just neutered. He is in great shape despite being on his own for who knows how long? Scotchie is over a year old, perhaps 18 months, but still a young cat.
He is looking for a loving him, someone to spoil and cuddle. The family is asking for an adoption fee of $100, which will cover a little of his vetting expenses. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

We have an online application on our website, sparrowdogs.com. Requirements vary as per the individual dog's needs as far as time alone, children, other pets, fenced yard vs. leash walking and such. Our adoption donations can range from $99 for less adoptable/older dogs, and higher for puppies and other highly sought after dogs(which helps us take in needy often medically challenged dogs and cats.)
Our contract states we have the right to visit the dog, check up periodically as well as take the dog back if necessary. We get first right to the dog if adopter chooses not to keep him. We want all adopters to realize this is a serious commitment and want our dogs to go to safe, loving homes.

Go meet their pets
We periodically have adoption events, check out our website for more info! But-most of our adoption do occur at our foster home where we feel the dog or cat will be much more relaxed and the adoptive family will be able to get a better idea of the dog/cats temperament.

More about this rescue
All of our pets are in foster homes, from Sheridan to Chicago, IL We take in many special needs dogs,some physically, mentally or behaviorally challenged. Some of them have been abused or neglected, many are seniors, most just need some understanding and patience. A lot of them have never heard a vacuum before or even felt a kind pat on their heads. Fostering them prepares them for the life they so richly deserve when a kind person adopts from us. When you adopt a shelter dog, you are making a giant step in reducing euthanasia for all these great dogs looking for a home. It is not their fault, it is the fault of the human that previously was involved in their life. Thanks for checking out our website, maybe you will find the pal of your dreams.
