About Sparky
Sparky is a gorgeous and very special little oldy who needs a very special home.
You see Sparky came into foster care due to his owner moving interstate and not being able to take him with her.
He was adopted by his former owner only 4 yrs ago and she has loved him very much.
Unbeknownst to his former owner at the time, Sparky had some medical issues.
Sparky has an enlarged heart which doesn't bother him at all as long as he has his medication morning and night.
He is a little live wire with plenty of energy and enthusiasm and a loving happy little people dog.
However Sparky hates taking his meds !! He will do whatever he can to avoid it. He will need to have someone with lots of patience and cunning as well as another dog for company to encourage him to eat his food for his medication to work.
He is a fussy little fellow.
This is where you as a potential owner comes in.
Please don't apply for Sparky if you just feel sorry for him.
He is in a loving and secure foster home but if the right person for him is out there then he would love to be accepted into a home of his own for however long the rest of his life may be.
To adopt Sparky you will need some special requirements.
You will need to provide and administer his medication daily.
You will have other small dogs and a secure yard.
You need to be aware that he will chase cats and pocket pets but does not harm them, they are a game to him.
He has an easy care medium coat which needs a bit of grooming and trimming occasionally (he doesn't enjoy this but for the right person he is fine).
He is house and dog door trained but due to his medication being a diuretic he does have accidents inside occasionally.
He hasn't been around children and we feel they may be too much stimulation on his heart so would prefer a home without.
If you think you have what it takes to love and care for Sparky for the rest of his days please either message the page or send us an email tinytailsrescueadelaide@gmail.com
