Story
Sparky is an older guy who just wants a good, warm lap to curl up on. He loves to lean in for pats and will readily jump onto your lap when he wants to settle in. He can be a bit head-shy with leashes and collars, but once he's leashed he's happy to walk! He also doesn't have a huge interest in food, at least not at the shelter, and can be quite picky with what he eats. A quiet home where he can decompress and roam as he pleases could improve his appetite. OTHER PETS: Sparky seems to enjoy the company of other dogs. He will initiate play but his lack of social skills means he doesn't take feedback very well. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Sparky can be a little nervous at times, but once he comes around he'll follow right behind you! Someone who has experience with head-shy dogs or someone who is dedicated to supporting Sparky as he adjusts would be an ideal fit. [First Dog]KIDS: Sparky is uncomfortable with some types of handling and can be nervous meeting new people. He would do best with kids who can respect his space and allow him to approach when he's ready. [12+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Sparky would be a great companion dog! He's the perfect mix of couch potato and walking buddy-- he'll have his lazy moments where he will lay in your lap and watch tv, but he will also have moments where he gets really excited to go outside and run around. [Couch Potato / Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: As an older dog, Sparky will need a good relationship with a vet to ensure he continues to age gracefully. At the moment he is on medication for Hypothyroidism, and will likely continue this treatment for the forseeable future. He has also tested positive for lyme disease, and may require rounds of antibiotics during flare-ups. [Above Average]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: [Minimal]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to decrease shedding in the home. [Minimal]January 15, 2025, 9:11 am
