Sparky came from a home with too many dogs, so didn't get much 1 on 1 time. He is great at sit but we haven't figured out what other commands he knows yet. Click here to see how good he sits.
He likes to be touching his people. When outside, he wants to stay with the people and lean into them. If we're sitting near him he will lay his head on us and give sweet kisses. Click here to see how beautiful and sweet he is!
Sparky is a mellow older guy-his eyes are a little foggy, his hips aren't what they used to be but he is still a sweet, happy dude and needs to find a great home to live out his retirement. He runs around the yard with the other dogs, goes for plenty of walks, no issues with stairs or getting in the car.
He is a perfect dog. He is just the sweetest, most gentle giant we've ever met. He is shy in social situations, so as of now, not much of a "patio dog" but we've brought him to a few and he's gotten better each time, as long as it isn't too busy and we don't let people approach him if we see he's nervous. He is more comfortable with women initially, but seems to bond harder with men once he's ready.
We will continue to update as we learn more about him or put in an application to learn more!
Sparky is from a local impound. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.
If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
