Sparky

March 2011 -- it was time to get my boys a dog. I knew that loving and caring for a dog was a lot of work but would enrich our lives tremendously.

I looked several times at the shelter and met some wonderful, lovely dogs, but none were the right fit, until I got a call from a kind volunteer who had taken my number the last time I came. She believed the right dog for me and my boys was in surgery recovery, a brindle pit/boxer/lab/greyhound mix, about two years old. I rushed over and met Sparky (Chase was his shelter name). I knew the moment I saw him that he was the one.

My boys and I adore him, can't imagine life without our Sparky. Thank you for saving his life and enriching ours more than words can say.
