Sheltered Start Program – COMING SOON

SparKy would like to announce a brand new program to benefit the community called Sheltered Start.  The program is for someone who has a pregnant dog or recent liter and wants to surrender the pups, have the mother spayed and ensure the health of all animals involved.  SparKy will work with you through the process to ensure a smooth transition. All puppies cared for by SparKy receive a thorough vet exam, vaccinations, heartworm testing, and treatment if needed for dogs, parasite control, as well as treatment for any illness that they might have. They will also be spayed or neutered, prior to going to their new home.

Owners must fill out the application below to be considered for the program.

To be considered, the owner must:

  • Be 21 years of age or older. (Ages 18 -21 are considered on a case-to-case basis.)
  • Have identification showing your current address.
  • Be able and willing to spend the time necessary to provide proper care for the animal during pregnancy.
  • Be able and willing to take the animal to the vet for routine and emergency vet care.
  • Be willing to surrender all puppies from the liter over to SparKy’s for vetting and adoption.
  • Be willlng to have the mother dog of this liter spayed as soon as the vet recommends it’s safe.
