Sparkles has a brown and black coat with tan accents and a little white thrown in for fun including a white blaze on her forehead. Her large ears stick straight up. Her eyes sparkle when she is happy. In one word - she is adorable!

Sparkles is a friendly, outgoing and affectionate pup. She is a little shy at first, but once she warms up to you, she will be your best friend. She loves to get in your lap and snuggle.

Sparkles is very energetic and playful, so we are looking for an adopter with a fenced yard. She is crate-trained and pad-trained, but will potty outside all the same as well. She will do good with another companion dog of a similar size but is nervous around larger dogs.

IAR subsidizes post-adoption professional training with Jane Marshall (www.cheerydogs.com) to encourage a life-long and successful bond between the dog and the adopter. Group classes for puppies and adult dogs are provided at a substantial discount to IAR adopters.
