sparkie 💜 ⭐️ 🇨🇦

Sparkie is a Rat Terrier estimated 6-8 years old , 24 lbs. He is Neutered,up to date on vaccines and fully treated for Heartworm and continues with prevention.He is a fun little guy ,full of spark as his name suggests who loves to play with his favourite ball or game of tug on a rainy day inside. He walks well on leash and loves to explore on walks.He can be leash reactive but if the other dog isn’t ,he is great to meet and has several dog friends in his current neighbor hood.He can be an only dog but is also fine with other dogs in the home provided they too are respectful. He does not care for cats.He is good with respectful kids as visitors but not recommended to live in a busy house with lots of people coming and going as he can be uneasy with chaos and crowds but he does love people.He has just the right amount of energy for play and walks but will easily settle when told to do so. He loves to spend the evenings curled up beside you,is house trained, sleeps peacefully through the night and never in a hurry to go potty in the mornings. He does well when left alone for 5-6 hours, longer is unknown but no destructive behaviour whatsoever. When alone he will curl up in your favourite chair and wait for your return and greet you with a happy bum wiggle. He does excellent in the car, is quiet and will sleep on longer rides. He is affectionate and loves to cuddle beside you,especially under a blanket or throw and is fun to watch him cover himself up when he’s ready to nap. He had been crate trained,could be again,although it hasn’t been needed ,he loves to sleep next to his favourite person. He loves deeply and loyally and protects fiercely and is a great little companion. He’s very food motivated,and has shown some resource guarding with high value human food,but not with his own food.He is smart and learns quickly with routines and will work for mere kibble.His weight needs to be watched as this breed gains weight easily but he loves snacking on veggies too. Grooming his short shiny coat is very low maintenance and he is cooperative while trimming nails as long as you know how to do it and is very comfortable during Vet visits.
