Sparky was an owner surrender. He was turned in to a shelter because the owner couldn’t keep him for some unknown reason. 

I have had him for approximately 3 months and I have seen no bad behavior from him that would be a reason to give him away. 

He is reasonably active but will settle down in the house. He loves to play and chew on a rawhide bone. When he is done he will lie quietly on the floor and take a nap. 

He does get excited and bark some when he is in his crate and my other dogs are running around, but quiets down when they go outside. He also barks a little at the neighbor’s dog when it is outside.  

He is a little nervous and excitable in new situations and jumps around quite a bit, so probably would not be good in a home with very young children  because he might jump up on them..

Since he is active and sometimes gets a little stubborn when he doesn’t want to come inside, a fenced yard is a must.

He is crate trained and seems fine in the crate here as long as he has had some outside playtime

He gets along with other dogs and loves to play in the yard with other dogs his size. 

He is a good little guy who is friendly and loving. He deserves a new forever home! If you think Sparky is the guy for you, e-mail lisa@schnauzerama.org!
