Sparkle Freely

Sparkle is an 8 year old, spry black tricolor gal who was surrendered by an elderly woman in VA who could no longer care for her dogs. She is curious, loving, and bonds well to her people. She likely previously had puppies, and her gentle demeanor reflects that! Sparkle seems to be medium energy, and has a wonderful "off-switch". At home, she will relax or rest and ask for pets (she likes brushing too!) but be ready to go outside whenever you are. She seems to be fully potty trained and walks well on leash! As of yet, she does not seem to have a prey drive for birds (will be tested with a cat). She has only shown a little curiosity. Sparkle would love a home with an adopter looking for a seasoned, beautiful lady who could provide her with tons of love, pets, a fenced yard in which she can run around, and perhaps some other doggy friends. An adopter who can further perfect her leash manners (almost there!!) and continue helping her explore the world would be great for Sparkle.

Fun fact about Sparkle: she will literally gently nose your hand and check in with you constantly as you're walking her to make sure you're there! She is adorable.

Sparkle is currently in Brooklyn, NYC and is getting used to being a New Yorker!

Solo

Solo is a 3 year old spayed female black tri Aussie. She is petite, only 33 lbs, and needs to gain a little weight. Solo has a medium energy level, higher velcro. Super sweet, gentle, silly, and playful. Her favorite thing is to hoard toys in her crate.

She gets along well with the resident Aussie. He ignores her for now and she respects him. She is curious about the cats and will chase them if they run, but backs off very quickly if she's hissed or swatted at. She's learning leash skills, and tends to circle whomever is walking her at the time. She is afraid of thunder, but not the normal household noises. She appears to be housebroken and she is quiet at night in her crate.

She came to us very matted, so she has been shaved from the middle of her back to her tail. She loves being brushed and closes her eyes and relaxes. Solo is low-key and a pleasure to have in the house.

A fenced yard would be best so she can run and play, and she would be most comfortable in a quieter household. She entertains herself well, but soaks up any and all attention and wants to be with her people. She hasn't met any children, but has been very gentle with elderly people.

Solo is fostered in Honeoye Falls, NY.
