At the SPCA: Sparky Joe needs a home

Meet adorable Sparky Joe! He’s a 12-year-old miniature pinscher, and he’s house- and crate-trained, calm and gentle. He has lived with cats and dogs and gets along great with both.

Sparky Joe is quite the lap dog as well, good on a leash and a cuddler. He also sits, knows down, stay and come. He has been at the Sacramento SPCA since January, and his adoption fee is $100.

For more information: www.sspca.org or visit the shelter at 6201 Florin Perkins Road.
