This helps Just Giant Rescue Inc - Illinois Chapter with pet care costs.
Foster Home Location: Wood River, IL
Dog's Name: Sparky
Age or Date of Birth: 12/15/2023 (estimated)
Gender: Male
Breed: Cane Corso
Who does Sparky get along with?
Other Dogs?: Yes loves other dogs
Cats?: Really likes tolerant cats, wags and wants to play but is very polite. If they hiss he gets scared and runs away.
Kids?: Has not met any children
Training?: He is crate trained, he does well coming when called, 90% potty trained just a few accidents at night if I don't hear him.
Sparky is making progress slowly but surely. He is crate trained and is almost completely potty trained aside from a few pee accidents that were my fault for not hearing him get up. He made some new friends at work this week. He met a little Lab named Ripley who he adored and he started to feel more comfortable with a few of our kennel staff and Beans' (His best friend) mom Marissa and would approach her and allow her to pet him. He loves to play with other dogs and he and Kaiser will play chase and wrestle in the backyard all day if you let them. He is not a big fan of the heat and will chill out in the shade after awhile. Once he warms up to you he is truly the biggest sweetheart. If you go, he wants to come too. If you are sitting or laying he wants to be cuddled up next to you. If there are no people to cuddle he cuddles with Kaiser on a dog bed or the couch. He is just a lovely little guy. He loves stuffies and balls especially if they bounce crazy and he can chase them. He plays fetch really well and will bring the ball back to you and drop it. He is still very shy and does take time to warm up to new people. He is still pretty quiet and only really barks if he is outside with just me or if Kaiser is not around to bark for him. He is such a sweet gentle little guy. I know he will be the perfect addition to someone's family but will definitely need a dog friend to show him the ropes
