I can reach my full loving potential with your patience and good guidance.
Sparkey needs a new start with someone who believes in him and who believes in the power of kindness, not force.
He is an attractive Shih Tzu, neutered male, approximately 2 years of age, debuting for adoption today at Nevada SPCA.
Sparkey is quite head-shy, a classic sign of past abuse, so an experienced, adult-only home is needed for him. Like other survivors of abuse, he may get testy with strangers or others who he perceives as posing a threat to him or his loved ones.
Besides being compatible with other dogs, he is reportedly housetrained. Please plan on regular professional grooming care for him.
Sparkey has tremendous potential. A stable home and lifestyle routine, with a nurturing and soft-spoken new owner, will allow him to see people and his future in a much brighter light.
