My story

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

Isn't it about that time to liven up your life with the addition of Sparkles! This fantastic Min Pin is nothing but joy and love. She loves to snuggle up on your lap and enjoy all the pets you are willing to give. In return she will gladly wrap all your xmas gifts for you no strings attached. Just don't be upset if the ribbon is a bit off center, her vision isn't perfect, but she can do a better job than grandma can after she's had a few hot buttered rums! Sparkles has no problems using the stairs, if you lead her home she will gladly follow. Adopt Miss Sparkles today!

Here's some notes from her foster:

Sparkles jumped straight into the car when we picked her up from Muttville and settled right into the passenger seat. She is clearly experienced and comfortable in cars.
When we got home she was very curious to run around the house and sniff everything. She was a little tentative with us, but this soon changed

Sparkles met our large male senior cat Quinn - they completely ignore each other. They did touch noses once but for the most part they don’t interact, even when they are both in my lap. About 20-30 minutes after getting home and looking around Sparkles apparently felt very comfortable and got the zoomies, racing around the living room and bouncing from chair to sofa and back.

Sparkles follows me around the house and will jump into my lap whenever I sit down
I have taken her on several walks around our neighborhood and she loves just sniffing at everything; she does not pull on the leash. Sparkles is house trained - we take her out to the lawn and she goes almost every time.

Did I mention that she follows me everywhere…She also sleeps in her bed, which I put on my bed. I put her blanket over her. She sleeps for hours…long after I get up and out.
We have left her alone for some hours at a time - it seems she just curls up in her bed and sleeps - but she does get a little sad when we leave her.

Sparkles is a really sweet, affectionate and cute doggie. She’s a lap dog - and is easy to handle. She’s will make a great companion for anyone!
