Story
Meet Sparkler!
Born April 14, 2025
Hey there, hooman! I’m Sparkler!
What’s up! I’m Sparkler, your soon-to-be favorite little ball of fur, zoomies, and unconditional love. I was born on April 14, 2025, and I’ve already had quite the adventure. I came all the way from Texas, and now I’m a 7-month-old, 20-pound wiggle-butt bursting with energy and cuddles.
I’m not going to get very big, so don’t worry — I’ll always fit perfectly in your lap (and probably your shoulder, too… sorry, not sorry). I’m about 98% potty trained, and I already know how to sit. …We’re working on “lay down,” but honestly, “wiggle, bounce, and do my happy hops” is way more fun.
I’m a total foodie, so if you’ve got snacks, I’ve got tricks. I adore humans of all ages — kids especially — and I get along great with other dogs. I haven’t met many cats yet, but I’m keeping an open mind.
I’m healthy, up to date on everything I need, and so ready to find my forever family.
My favorite things include enrichment pads, stuffed toys, fetch, cuddles, walks, and food. Lots of food.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, slightly chaotic little sidekick who will make you laugh every single day — I’m your girl.
Love and slobbery kisses,
Sparkler
Our standard adoption fee is $375 if paid by cash or check, or $385 if paid by credit card (which includes a $10 processing fee). This fee covers spay/neuter surgery when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative, and microchipping.
In order to be considered for adoption, we require a fully completed application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with your entire family. Please note that submitting an application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee approval—it simply allows us to begin the review process.
If you are interested in adopting or would like additional information, please email us at adopt@safehavendogsIL.org to request an application.
Keep in mind that the breed and size listed in each dog's biography are our best educated guesses and are not guaranteed.
Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant for any reason.
