My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I`m Sparky! I`m about 6 years old and weigh 72 pounds. I`m a friendly, wiggly guy who enjoys playing with toys and spending time with people!

** I`m a volunteer favorite and here`s why:
`He was so snarfy when we entered his kennel, we nicknamed him `Snarfy`. We loved his enthusiasm and sweet temperament.`
`He is so cute and was so excited to go on a walk. He is very slobbery and I think that adds a lot to his character. I love him so much.`
`Sparky is so charming! He`s so smart and trainable (that big head is full of knowledge). Sparky is very attentive to people and loves to be part of whatever you`re doing. He loves pets and rolls over for tummy rubs! Such a sweetheart!` **

Do you like...

Dogs? I`d prefer to be the king of my castle! (No other dogs).

Cats? I am showing a bit of prey drive towards smaller animals at the shelter and would do best in a home without them.

Kids? Due to some reactivity I`ve displayed in the shelter, I would do best in a home with older kiddos.

I came into the shelter as a stray and the above information is all recommendations based on my behavior seen at the shelter. I have no known history. Expect to learn more about me after adoption.

It is unknown how this animal will do in their new home as all animals can be different with each person. It is important to take this into consideration when thinking about adopting and making sure you are prepared to work with any potential medical or behavior issues that occur after adoption.

My adoption fee includes my spay/neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, certificate for a free veterinary exam, post-adoption support and more!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me! If you think we would be a good match come on down and ask to meet me! I`m looking for my forever home and it could be with you!

ADOPTION INFORMATION: If you live in the city of Eugene or in Lane County you will be purchasing a dog license in addition to the adoption fee. You will get to choose between a one year, two year, or three year license.

More about this shelter

Greenhill Humane Society has been caring for animals in Lane County since 1944. We operate the only animal shelter within the Eugene/Springfield area. Our programs include animal adoptions; reuniting lost animals with their families; disaster response; crisis care boarding in situations of domestic violence, medical emergencies, and other crisis situations; spay/neuter for free roaming, un-owned community cats; a pet pantry; on-site volunteer opportunities; foster care and humane education.

Last year, we helped reunite or find new loving homes for 2,826 animals. In addition, we provided 469 cat spay/neuter surgeries to assist cat caregivers in reducing feral cat over-population.

Greenhill is a private non-profit and relies on donations for a majority of its budget. The generosity of our local community enables us to provide a high level of care to lost, abandoned, and neglected animals while at the same time helping pet owners in need.
