There's a lot to learn when you have a new pet. Our sister brand, The Wildest, is here to support you—with new pet checklists, virtual training, and expert guides. Sign up for free.
To help us make a great fit for you, and any of our dogs as well, please include information about yourself(Home, family, yard/fence, work hours, other pets...) and/or use our application at sparrowdogs.com. Those emails will get the quickest response, we do the best we can, but if we have to follow up with an email asking you about yourself and waiting for a response, well, we have already moved on to the next email that has provided the details. We are doing the best we can to find the right home for each dog or cat, just need your help too! :) Selma and Patty are a couple of sweet sisters. Unlike 'The Simpson's', Aunt Patty and Selma, these two really do not have any annoying habits, lol. They actually like everyone, don't smoke, and probably have never watched an episode of MacGyver. Selma and Patty are actually very pleasant to be around and have been lovely guests in our foster home! The girls, we are told, had been living with a family that found them for a month. The family said they lived with kids, dogs and even cats. We can't verify that, but they are very friendly and social. We would say that they would be fine around older kids. They are guessed to be Lab/Aussie mixes. Patty is the heavier of the two, she is 60 pounds, more of a short stocky build. She has the nub tail of an aussie, and gorgeous brown eyes. Of the two, Patty is a little more laid back, more into relaxing and belly rubs. Just look at Patty and she will roll over for a good belly rub!! Selma has the most beautiful eyes, ones is crystal blue, the other one is brown, with just a smidge of blue. Selma is the silly sister, likes to play and always up for some activity. She is about 50 pounds. They both love them some snuggles as well, very loving girls!! They both get along fine with the other dogs, but we have had to correct them a couple times with some bossiness. Nothing serious, and they were very easily corrected. They would be fine adopted together, but it is really not necessary. They are not incredibly bonded, actually are quite independent of each other. Both girls are very well mannered and totally housebroken. They do not need to be crated, they are fine in the house, beyond the chewing stage and very calm. The vet guessed them between 2-5 years old, so 3ish?? If you would like to adopt them both. the adoption fee will be $400, otherwise individually their adoption fee will be $250. Please email Kristine at joysparrows@gmail.com.

We have an online application on our website, sparrowdogs.com. Requirements vary as per the individual dog's needs as far as time alone, children, other pets, fenced yard vs. leash walking and such. Our adoption donations can range from $99 for less adoptable/older dogs, and higher for puppies and other highly sought after dogs(which helps us take in needy often medically challenged dogs and cats.)
Our contract states we have the right to visit the dog, check up periodically as well as take the dog back if necessary. We get first right to the dog if adopter chooses not to keep him. We want all adopters to realize this is a serious commitment and want our dogs to go to safe, loving homes.

Go meet their pets
We periodically have adoption events, check out our website for more info! But-most of our adoption do occur at our foster home where we feel the dog or cat will be much more relaxed and the adoptive family will be able to get a better idea of the dog/cats temperament.

More about this rescue
All of our pets are in foster homes, from Sheridan to Chicago, IL We take in many special needs dogs,some physically, mentally or behaviorally challenged. Some of them have been abused or neglected, many are seniors, most just need some understanding and patience. A lot of them have never heard a vacuum before or even felt a kind pat on their heads. Fostering them prepares them for the life they so richly deserve when a kind person adopts from us. When you adopt a shelter dog, you are making a giant step in reducing euthanasia for all these great dogs looking for a home. It is not their fault, it is the fault of the human that previously was involved in their life. Thanks for checking out our website, maybe you will find the pal of your dreams.
