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.

Story
Coffee Bean is an almost 2-year-old Pit Bull Terrier mix weighing about 50 pounds, and she’s a gentle, affectionate girl whose heart is just as big as her story. Before coming to rescue, Coffee Bean spent nearly two months surviving on her own as a stray. When she was finally brought to safety, rescuers discovered a collar painfully embedded in her neck and learned she was pregnant. Despite everything she had been through, Coffee Bean never stopped wanting to trust people. Once she realized she was safe, her sweet and loving personality quickly began to shine. Shortly after arriving in foster care, Coffee Bean welcomed 10 puppies into the world. Now it’s finally Coffee Bean’s turn to be the one who’s spoiled and loved. Coffee Bean is the definition of a cuddle bug. She absolutely loves being close to her people and would happily spend her evenings snuggled up beside you or curled up in bed. She’s incredibly loyal and tends to follow her humans from room to room, just happy to be part of whatever you’re doing. She’s friendly, outgoing, and has a joyful, playful personality that makes her a wonderful companion. She gets along very well with other dogs and especially enjoys having canine friends to play with. Because of how much she enjoys running and playing, Coffee Bean would love a home with a fenced yard and ideally another playful pup to keep her company. She’s also great with children and has the kind, patient temperament that makes her a lovely addition to a family. Coffee Bean is house-trained on a routine and does well having free roam in her foster home. She’s still working on some of the basics like leash manners and commands, but she’s eager to please and very motivated by treats, which makes her a fun dog to continue training with. Like many dogs, she can be a little nervous during car rides, but with time and positive experiences she will likely gain confidence. After everything she has been through, Coffee Bean is ready for the life she has always deserved. She’s looking for a home where she can run, play, cuddle, and be loved as deeply as she loves in return. If you’re searching for a loyal best friend with a heart full of affection, Coffee Bean is ready to pour all of that love into her forever family. Her minimum adoption fee is $100 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
