Sparrow’s life didn’t begin the way every dog deserves. His early days were touched by sadness and uncertainty,the kind of start that leaves little paws unsure of the world around them. But despite it all, Sparrow never stopped believing in love. And today, he is living proof that a gentle heart can heal.
Now, Sparrow is thriving. He wakes up each day with joy, gratitude, and that soft sparkle in his eyes that says he’s ready to love with his whole heart. He is the biggest sook you’ll ever meet, affectionate, sensitive, and happiest when he’s right by your side. He doesn’t just like cuddles… he needs them. His favourite place in the world? Curled up with you!
Sparrow has the most beautiful nature. He can make friends with everyone and anyone-humans, dogs, even strangers quickly become his new best friends. He carries no bitterness from his past, only warmth and an eagerness to belong. His gentle soul and loving personality make him such a special companion.
We are looking for an amazing family who will treat Sparrow the way he deserves, full of love and patience because that’s exactly what he deserves. A home where he’s allowed on the bed, where cuddles are endless, where he’s included in everyday life and showered with the affection he gives so freely.
Sparrow has already shown how resilient and loving he is. Now he just needs his forever family, one who will cherish him, protect him, and remind him every single day that his sad beginning is far behind him.
If you’re ready for a loyal shadow, a snuggler, and a heart that loves deeply and purely, Sparrow is waiting for you.
HEALTH WAIVER:
Sparrow previously had a malpositioned right mandibular canine tooth that was impacting the roof of his mouth and causing oral discomfort on the roof of his mouth. The tooth has been surgically extracted to prevent ongoing trauma and future complications.
Sparrow has an extremely small cleft in his upper palate which he has had since birth. This has been seen by a specialist who has confirmed no action required and does not affect him
He also has an underbite which is not causing any issues.
He has recovered well from the procedure and is currently healthy. Sparrow is eating and drinking normally, is not on any medications, and has no ongoing symptoms or medical concerns at this time.
While no treatment is currently required, routine dental monitoring during regular veterinary exams is recommended.

* Your home must have secure fencing.
* All dogs & cats in the home must be desexed and fully vaccinated.

~ ADOPTION PROCESS ~
1. Please take the time to read the dog's detailed profile thoroughly.
2. An Adoption application MUST be filled out prior to the meet and greet with the animal.
3. If successful, our adoptions co-ordinator will be in touch within 24-48 hours, if you have not received a response in this time, please check your junk folder.
4. The foster carer will then call you within 24-48 hours to set up a meet & greet, this is also the perfect time to ask any detailed information about the dog and if they are going to be a good match for you and your family.
5. The ‘Meet & Greet' - you travel to where the dog is. All potential adopters are given 5 DAYS to meet the dog. If the adopter has not met the dog in this period, then we will assume you are no longer interested. If you have a current dog and the dog you are enquiring about is over 4 months of age they must meet to ensure compatibility. Your pet must be fully vaccinated to be able to meet with our dogs in care. We strongly recommend all members of the family attend.
6. The dog MUST not be taken on the day unless PRIOR ARRANGEMENTS have been made e.g. travelling more than 5 hrs round trip. In this case we need a minimum of 3 days notice. The adoption agreement and payment must be made before collection of the dog.
7. The adopter has 24 hours to email admin@luckypaws.com.au to advise if they wish to proceed with the adoption or not. We rely on our foster carers for feedback on how the meet & greet went so each carer will advise us after the meet & greet.
8. Once you email our Adoptions Co-ordinator, we will then email you the adoption paperwork to finalise, this needs to be completed within 3 days depending if the dog is a puppy or adult. PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER. The dog can only be officially adopted and taken home once the paperwork and adoption fee has been received, we will notify the foster carer and adopter when the dog is ready to go to their new home. The adopter has 4 days to collect the dog after the payment has been received.
9. A 10-day trial period commences once the animal has been collected from the foster carer. During the trial period, should the dog become ill, you must notify Lucky Paws via email at admin@luckypaws.com.au immediately. If the dog requires a vet visit Lucky Paws will ONLY cover vet treatment which has been authorised by a Lucky Paws admin at our partnered vet clinics. We will NOT reimburse you if you choose to go to your own vet or haven’t got approval.
10. The Adoption is finalised after 14 - 28 days and paperwork is sent via email after this period. Please note this can take up to 4 weeks pending on the microchip paperwork. If you need vaccination certificates for puppy school in the meantime, please email us.
Sorry we can’t take calls, as our rescue is run entirely by volunteers, but we endeavour to respond to your email within 24 - 48 hours. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
