Story
Sparkey will no doubt ignite a spark in anyone who meets him with his gorgeous coat, markings, and eyes that look right into your heart. Sadly, a lost person with no light abandoned him and his sister Shimmer in a yard to fend for themselves, and thankfully, someone got them to the shelter safely. So far, he seems like a very laid-back boy who appears to chill even more every day as he learns to trust and feel safeThis handsome boy looks very much like a Rottie, so as we can’t be sure of their mix-they are either very Rottweiler or purebred. So, learning to see more about the size and energy of that breed will help you know if Sparkey may be the pup for you. Sparkey is just learning to navigate his world, but thus far, he is a sweetheart with the best snuggles, precious demeanor, and an old soul energy that is sure to steal your heart!Name: SparkeyBreed: Rottweiler/CrossbreedSex: MaleAge: 10 weeksWeight: 10lbs as of 7/23/24Spayed/Neutered: Too young - Spay/Neuter Contract will be required and strictly enforced.Vaccinations: Puppy vaccines will be up to date - all vaccinations required after adoption are the responsibility of the adopter.Heartworm: Too young (testing is done at 6 months of age)Housetrained: Not usuallyMicrochipped: YesLocation of dog currently: Alabama Puppy Adoption Fee: $550.00 (includes a spay/neuter surgery rebate of up to $200.00 to be paid to the adopter when proof of spay/neuter is provided to Paws New England).

This requirement is for the benefit of you and your puppy, so if you experience behavior issues, you have a point of contact. PLEASE—Think long and hard before adopting a puppy. Consider the lifestyle change this puppy will come with. He cannot be crated for more than 3-4 hours at a time until he's older. Puppy-proofing your home will be necessary. Puppies scratch and nip, so if you have small children, can they handle this? Training will be so important in this puppy's life.
