Hi there! My name is Sparky… but when I’m feeling extra fabulous, you can call me Sparkles. I’m a low-rider kind of guy built for maximum cuteness. I’m happy to report that I’m potty trained (yes, I’m a gentleman), and I’m perfectly content snoozing quietly in my own little space at bedtime or when you're away. Do you know what I love the most? My people! I absolutely love being around my humans and I'd be happiest in a home where someone is around a lot. I’m the kind of companion who just wants to hang out, whether we’re relaxing on the couch or out enjoying some fresh air. Did I mention that I LOVE walks!? I’m a pro on the leash, and I’m always ready to explore the neighborhood. You could even bring a ball or a toy with us, because I love a good game of chase and fetch. I get along well with other dogs of all sizes, but I don't really care if they're around or not. I’m not picky—I just care about spending time with my humans. One thing you should know about me: I get a little startled by unexpected touches or quick reaches. Because of that, I’d feel most comfortable in a home without young kids, or with older kiddos who understand how to approach me gently and respectfully. I love to be pet and I will nudge your hand for attention, but I just don't like surprises! If you’re looking for a Short King with a big heart and a long body, I might just be your fella. Love, Sparky… or should I say, Sparkles Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there***
