My story

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

**********Please read bio fully before responding. We appreciate your interest in one of our dogs and it would be very helpful when you respond if you share information about yourself(home/yard, work hours, other pets, kids, dog experience..) Also, we do have an application at sparrowdogs.com that we will need in order to proceed with the adoption. THANK YOU!!

Yes, he is one handsome little boy, and he really knows it! Mick is a man about town, a ladies man. Well, he thinks so. He loves the female dogs in his foster home, and they tolerate him, lol. Mick is doing OK with the other male dogs in the home, but we think that he would be happier in a home as the only male.

Mick is a 5 year old Chocolate poodle, he is 5 years old. He is a spunky guy, has a lot of energy and loves to play. He is very happy on our short excursions outside(brrrr) and quickly takes care of his business. We do have him in a belly band right now. Things are new to him and he wanted to mark in the house, the belly band helps with that. Being recently neutered those feelings will pass, but he will need a home committed to keeping him on the right path, and understand that it can take a little time for him to get past the marking behaviors.

He is a happy go lucky little guy that will probably be best in an adult household. Mick, like many poodles, has had ear infections and has narrowing of the canal on his left side. That has been treated, but he may be more prone to infections on that side and need treatment in the future.

Mick is always happy, always ready for a snuggle and some attention, He would love to find a person or two to hang around with, enjoy some long walks, explore a neighborhood together, perhaps a farmers market, or two! He may be fine with teen-ish kids, but we think he will be best in an adult household. His adoption fee is $350, please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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.
