Meet adoptable deaf one year old Sparky who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish him, become his new best friend and always keep him safe.
From his rescue advocate: Sparky is available for adoption in WA state only.
This bio was lovingly written by Sparky’s foster parents, the people who have had the joy of getting to know his sweet personality firsthand. Sparky is a 51-lb. Dalmatian mix who is around 1 year old. From the moment he arrived, Sparky made it clear that he’s a people-loving, affectionate boy with a gentle soul and a big heart. He’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of your day, whether that’s following you around the house, soaking up belly rubs, or curling up on the couch for a cozy nap.
Sparky is good with cats and enjoys the company of other dogs.
Sparky came to Washington from a high-kill shelter in California in hopes of finding his perfect forever home. He is deaf, but don’t let that intimidate you! Living with a deaf dog isn’t much different from living with a hearing one. You simply use hand signals instead of verbal commands, and Sparky has proven to be smart, attentive, and very treat-motivated, which makes training a joy.
He already knows sign cues for sit, come, and paw, and is currently working on the sign cue for down. Sparky is house-trained (though a brief adjustment period in a new home is normal) and is not destructive. He especially enjoys rope toys and plays nicely.
Sparky is respectful of cats and gentle and playful with other dogs, and people are his absolute favorite. He thrives on attention and affection and will do best with a family that enjoys spending time with their dog and making him part of everyday life. He’s social, loving, and has done well with every person and dog he’s met. He would love a home with another playful, sweet dog or two!
Sparky has great house manners, does well on car rides, and is working on being comfortable in his crate. Indoors, he has a calm demeanor and is happy to follow his people (or dog friends) around before settling in for a cuddle and a nap.
Sparky is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. He is an amazing dog who is truly ready to find his people.
