When Sparkie arrived at the shelter she had just lost her loving owner and was very nervous to adjust to shelter life.
At the time, she went home with a foster and has been thriving in her new environment since then. She has become the center of attention, enhancing her glowing outgoing personality. But now it is time for Sparkie to find her forever home. Sparkie is becoming too used to her foster mom, and her foster mom needs to move on to help another dog in a similar situation.
Being a true Blue Heeler, she loves being outdoors and going on long leisurely walks. But keep an eye out for smaller wild animals as she will chase them!
She also loves to chase the ball, which appears to be her favorite past-time. Though she can get a little stubborn with the return.
After a fun-filled day of playing outside, Sparkie tends to bring the zoomies back inside with her, but it’s not long until she is ready for a nap. Despite her excited nature, she is completely house trained and can be left alone for several hours without getting into any trouble.
She is not fond of cats at all but shows no aggression toward them either. The best home for Sparkie would be a one-pet home, but she does seem to adapt easily to new surroundings.
Sparkie is microchipped, up to date on her rabies vaccine and has been flea-treated. She also tested negative for heart worms and does not receive heart worm preventative.
If Sparkie’s story has touched your heart and you want to rescue her from her traumatic past, call the shelter at 309-852-0040 to set up an appointment to meet this energetic, resilient canine. Adoption fee is $100.
