Sparkle

Sparkle is an adorable 1 year-old all liver female German Shorthaired Pointer. She is a real sweetheart, and loves everyone. She is a bit shy at first, but comes around quickly. She hasn’t had much training, but does know a few commands, “sit, lay down and stay”, but will need continued training to reach her full potential. Sparkle is house trained, dog door trained and crate trained.

Sparkle loves to play with other dogs, and is very social. We would love to see her go to a home where she has another dog to play with to keep her stimulated. If you don’t have another dog, an active person or family to make sure she has plenty of daily exercise, stimulation, games, etc. will be essential, and keep her happy.

Sparkle ran a 5K, and did pretty well. She was a bit crazy on the leash, so she will need to practice leash training.
