Sparky is a male golden retriever whose family brought him to a shelter because they were moving. They told the shelter his name was Sparky and he was 2.5 years old. The shelter was very crowded but fortunately they called us. If we hadn’t taken him that day, he wouldn’t be here. He was quite the nervous little boy. However, we think that his nervousness will soon subside. He has been adopted by a wonderful family – in fact he is quickly on his way to becoming a Tarheel. Yes, Sparky’s new home is in beautiful North Carolina. Mom came to adoption day and meet Sparky, he immediately gave her the paws-up. However, he was holding out on his decision until he met the rest of the family. Then dad came to visit and with a few headrubs and bellyrubs won Sparky’s heart too. Now Sparky will have a large fenced-in yard to play in, and a 9-year-old human sibling.
