My story

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

My name is Sparky. Very much like a spark, I am a 5-year-old 30-pound compact firecracker, a ball of energy, the light we all need more of in our lives, direct and to the point, enthusiastic, well rounded, happy, and when I crash, I crash until I am reignited. Just call me 'Sparkalicious!'

I found myself at this fabulous rescue when my family moved, and they weren't able to take me. Instead of feeling sad for me or upset with them, I experienced love being part of their family and I am ready to pay that forward to my FURever family.


I am very smart, and I crave training and routine (if I was a little younger, I would sign up to serve in the military or even enroll at the local community college). We all feel more confident when we are on a routine and know what to expect. I am no different than you or any other K9. Because I have been shuffled around a bit in my 6 years of life, a home with no children would be best because they make quick movements that sometimes scare me.


SIT DOWN FOR THIS, no pun intended: I am HOUSE TRAINED, know all the basic manners, love food (Captain Obvious), and am dog friendly. I mean if there was ever a FACE for 'WHOLE PACKAGE' it would be my gorgeous miniature rottie face. Ok, I know I sound egotistical, but I am really motivated to learn. While I can appreciate cats, they aren't a creature I am interested in living with. That is no offense to cats as they are my cousins, but they are small & slick and also make quick manipulative moves that sometimes scare me. I love cuddling on the couch, whether it is a movie or animal planet - as long as we are together, I will be happy. I am active and LOVE walking. After all, movement is medicine.


Luckily for me, I am in a foster home and my foster family is teaching me to work through my separation anxiety because after all, we are all a 'work in progress.' I crave a family that is home a lot and rarely would leave me, and would need to be with a family in a house - not an apartment or townhome. I would prefer to have my own fenced in yard too if that's not too much to ask! If you would like to meet or potentially adopt me, please go to our website to learn more about the adoption process: www.crcpa.org I promise that I will be a decision you will LOVE for the rest of our lives. Love always, Sparkalicious...'

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process encompasses several steps in an attempt to ensure the best possible placement of an animal with the most appropriate home. In addition to an application and time spent with the dog of interest, a home visit with the candidate is also a step in the adoption. We do charge an adoption fee as well as require the execution of an adoption agreement.
