Hi guys. My name is Sparkles. I am here at the Humane Society, AGAIN! Of course it was by no fault of my own. I was picked up as a stray in September of 2023. The first time I came into the Humane Society I was picked up as a stray as well. I was here in April of 2022. Of course my stay the first time wasn't a long one, it only took someone a few days to come and find me at the shelter. Yet here I am again. They only had me for a year. I was adopted from the shelter as a 2 month old puppy, and after a year of having me as their forever friend, I guess my cuteness wore off and they decided just to let me run free. I do not know what happened or why they just let me go, but they did and now I am stuck here at the shelter a second time, and boy has this time been a long one-since September 19, 2023 to be exact. I am considered heartworm positive; however, I have finished my heartworm treatment on January 16, 2024! Thank you to the Humane Society, I love you for that. Although my stay at the shelter has been a long one, I am told now that I have finished heartworm treatment, in roughly seven to eight months I should test negative for heartworms and there is a 98% chance that this test will come back negative. I am hopeful and looking forward to the possibility that someone will love me enough to come and scoop me up out of the shelter. I am a playful girl at just two years of age. I am considered heartworm positive until the next test in about seven to eight months (I am sure I will be negative by then), I am already spayed, and I am ready to go to a home that will love me as much as I am going to love them. I am happy-go-lucky, energetic and spry, and friendly as can one can be. I look forward to getting to meet you soon, and I am hoping that I can win you over so that I can get out of this shelter my last and final time. I just want a home that will love me for who I am. If you think that I might be the perfect fit but you have other dogs at home, I was told the Humane Society does meet and greets where I can meet your dog at the shelter to see if I will get along with them. They have also told me that they offer slumber parties, I don't know what those are because I have never been to one, but the team here tells me that you can go overnight with someone at their house for a few days to see if I would fit in at someone's house. Man, that does sound like a dream come true. How about we give this a go? Would you be willing to be my forever home? Come be my dream come true, come rescue me! Love always, Sparkles.
