About this Dog
After a rocky start, Sparky is so ready for his happy ending, and maybe, just maybe, you're the one to give it to him. Sparky is 5 years old and just 20lbs, he is the definition of a homebody. Snuggled up next to you on the couch, belly up for rubs, while you binge-watch cooking shows or unwind with your favorite series is his perfect day too. He’s mellow, affectionate, and an absolute expert in the fine art of napping. After being surrendered by the family he grew up with, he was understandably shaken (where he lived with young kids). While his next home wasn’t the right fit, Sparky didn’t give up. With the support of a fantastic trainer (@ace_pets_services), he’s made amazing progress, especially with his leash reactivity, and continues to improve every single day. Sparky’s Favorite Things:Cuddles & belly rubsWatching you cook (he’s a five-star sous-chef)Treats, praise, and routineCalm, cozy environments What Sparky’s Great At:House-trained and crate-trained (he sleeps soundly in his crate at night)Knows the “No” commandLoves structure and consistent routinesIncredible potential with the right guidance What He’s Working On:Leash reactivity to dogs and new people (but improving with training)Calm greetings with visitorsDesensitization with tools like the pet corrector and positive reinforcement Who Sparky’s Looking For: A quiet home with a yard, where he won’t have to constantly meet new people or dogs. Or with a patient, consistent owner (or couple) who’s willing to continue his training. He’s shown he can make great progress, he just needs someone to believe in him. While generally calm around children, Sparky may react similarly to how he does with adults at times, so respectful, dog-savvy older kids or an adult-only home might be best. He’s reactive around other dogs on walks but continues to improve with consistent training and redirection, and is the absolute SWEETEST inside. Despite the ups and downs, Sparky hasn’t lost his gentle spirit. With the right home, there’s no doubt he’ll blossom into the loyal, loving companion you’ve been dreaming of.

100% of Sparky's balance will be sent to whoever adopts Sparky.
Adopt Sparky and Receive Sparky's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Sparky's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Sparky's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Sparky, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Sparky's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Sparky was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Sparky’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Sparky’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Sparky’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
