Sparky is a 15 year old American Cocker Spaniel in Lonsdale, MN, who needs $650 for Heart & Kidney Ultrasound.

Sparky is a bouncing cocker spaniel around 15 years old. We adopted him from a family in Rochester, MN when he was 2.5 yrs old. This family told us that he was originally from Mexico! They decided to sell him because they didn't have time for him - he was kept in a crate all day while the family was away. He now lives in a beautiful home out in the country, with his human family of six!

Due to severe decay, Sparky needs tooth extractions, but Chest Xrays/bloodwork showed he has a heart murmer & high kidney levels, meaning early heart/kidney disease. A heart/kidney ultrasound is scheduled at Animal Care in New Prague, MN. Results will be sent to Veterinary Dentistry Specialists in Woodbury, MN who will help Sparky have dental surgery with safe amounts of anesthesia & medications.

Sparky's full of energy, love, and snuggles and has been my very best friend since I was 13 yrs old. I know everyone says they have the best dog, but I'm convinced Sparky is the best of the best! He loves his family, snacks, walks, and camping adventures. He loves our other dog, Tasha (a Shih Tzu/Poodle mix), our cats, and our rabbits. He is a very handsome boy with a big personality!

My family of six is undergoing major financial struggles as we navigate the aftermath of a divorce involving long-term domestic abuse, and we aren't able to cover Sparky's bills for tests and upcoming surgery. We're believing that help is out there, though! God bless you!
