Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi! My name is Jack Spartacus (aka Sparty) I am a 1-2 yr. old Smooth Fox Terrier/ Rat Terrier mix. Although Spartacus was a gladiator, I am just the opposite…a lover, not a fighter. I’m about as cute as they come! I love to snuggle with my foster mom and lie close to Candy, my fur sister. I am house-broken and crate trained. I love, love, LOVE chew toys and chasing balls in the yard and around the house. The leash makes me a bit nervous and I don’t like it on my collar but I feel more comfortable when it’s attached to my harness. I walk very well on the leash, once I get to know you. So I just need practice to make walks fun and exciting! I’m easygoing and great with other dogs and kids. I’ve never been around cats but I’m sure they’re pretty cool. If you think your family will be the peanut butter to my jelly, fill out an adoption application and LET’S GO!
Love, SPARTY
Interested in becoming a forever home for Sparty? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application.
Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws.
We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Sparty.
We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Sparty the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us.
For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process.
Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses.
All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.
Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
