Story
I’m Sparkly! If you’re looking for a small guy with a HUGE personality, look no further, I’m right here! I am a BIG people person, and I’ll take every ounce of attention I can get. If I see my foster moms' neighbors out and about, you can bet I’ll be over there living it up. Due to my neighbor visits, I am tied on a dog cable for my potty breaks (a fence would also be great!). I am still controllable off leash, but with strict supervision. I’ve been on a training schedule that would need to be continued for my personality - crate, potty, and mind training. Crate and potty training are going great. I have rare accidents and I’ll cry in my crate to let you know I need to go outside. My mind game…let’s just say I’m giving foster mom a challenge. I’m eager to learn but I’m so excited that I can’t sit still at times. A little patience and teaching me some focus would be very helpful. I have been around other dogs, all have been large breeds, and I do great. I’m a little rough at times and a correction is given to remind me of my boundaries. I love my mealtime! So much so, after my bowl is gone, I like to check out everyone else’s bowl to see if they missed anything. I’m still just a pup and chewing is a given so plenty of toys laying around for me would be perfect! Now, I’ve got to go keep an eye on my neighbors and make sure they haven’t forgotten about me. I’ll be waiting for you!
All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. Records are sent via email. Paper versions are available upon request.
If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile above.
After we review your completed survey, we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sunday and Monday and will not be processing any applications on those days. Please get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below:
Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey.
A PCH! adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH! cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below)
The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location.
Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier.
If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!:
Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720).
Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH! representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family.
If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart – Bloomington, IL:
Park in the PetSmart (1606 E. Empire St.) Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH! representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family.
If your adoption is scheduled at the Cat’s Meow Cafe:
Navigate to PetSmart, park in the parking lot and enter the store. Locate a PCH! Representative at our adoption table and let them know you are picking up a Cat Cafe Cat. You will sign your final contract with your counselor and snap a picture of the completed screen. Head to the Cat’s Meow Cafe at 507 N. Hershey Rd and provide them with the snapshot of your final contract. They will get your cat and take a “Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family.
PCH! supports a 30-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we cannot provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options:
Exchange for a pet that may be a better match**
Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee**
With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities!
Thank you,
Pet Central Helps!
