Sparkle is a 6 year old Maltese/Poodle Mix who came to our rescue from an overcrowded shelter. She's been in a foster home for a few weeks now and her foster mom writes:

Sparkle is a young 6 for sure!  She is a playful, happy girl who LOVES to run and play with gizmo, our dog. When he get tired she just plays by herself.  She loves the stuffed squeeky toys we have and will spend hours chewing on them and pulling them apar! She is also a great cuddler.  She will sleep next to me quietly at night (I know I'm spoiling her) and not make a peep until morning. She spends the day when we are at work in her crate.  At first she was leery about going in her crate but after realizing she gets delicious treats in there she goes right in.  I think she is also mimicking Gizmo's behavior because he goes right in.  As long as I stick to her potty schedule which involves frequent outtings, we have no accidents in the house.  If there is an accident its my fault because I was lazy or forgetful about letting her out. She was anxious about eating at first, but now that she's settled in, she eats her whole bowl of food.
 
Sparkle is great with other dogs, likely okay with cats and would do best with older children. She can be a little anxious at times, but has really started to shine in rescue. If you'd like to give Sparkle her forever home, please submit your adoption application today!
