Meet Sparky!

Sparky is one happy little guy -especially now that he knows he's coming to MARS and will be getting a new forever home!  Sparky is good with other dogs and loves everyone he meets.

Update from Foster:
Sparky is a sweet and happy guy.  When I come home from work, he is adorable because his entire body wiggles in pleasure.  He can be a little shy for the first minute but in general wants to be everyone's buddy.  

I can imagine him being some little boy's best friend, or maybe an elderly persons's best friend.  He is a nice relaxed dog. He loves to be snuggled and is quick to turn over for a belly rub.  Sparky does like to play but even then he doesn't get wild or worked up about it.  He loves to go after his chew toy, and we are working on getting him to return it so I can throw it again.

Sparky isn't a barker by nature, just occasionally barking when the other dogs in the household get worked up.  He is a good walker, doesn't pull on the leash and occasionally wants to just lay down and relax in the grass if given the opportunity.  

We discovered Sparky has quite a jump, as you can see from his video.  This and his desire to please his people makes me think he'd be a good agility dog.  

Sparky is crate trained and understands when you point at his crate and say "Crate" that he is supposed to get in.  He happily accepts a treat for complying.  He is young and seems to learn quickly.  

He could use someone who can focus on making sure he learns basic obedience, like sit and lay-down.  He seems to be catching on, but with two other dogs in the house, it's been challenging to focus on teaching him.  

Sparky is such a sweet, loving boy. He is pretty calm and loves hanging out with people and dogs.
