In September of 2000 we saw the need for a place for abused, abandon, neglected and wayward dogs in our area to go where they could be loved, rehabbed and find forever homes. That was the birth of Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue Organization, or SPARRO. Just one year later with the tragedy of 9/11, SPARRO was thrust into the forefront of rescue in our area. In 2000 we where able to rescue

4 dogs, but after the WTC attack and throughout 2001 we took in and re-homed 133 dogs, including 2 chocolate lab brothers directly from the NYC area just one week after the attack. Over the years SPARRO has continued to grow and to date we are very close to rescuing our 1,000th wayward dog. We have helped dogs from every single state east of the Rockies and many from Canada as well. We helped with the dogs of Hurricane Katrina and continue to work closely with our contacts in New Orleans to bring great dogs north to forever homes whenever we can. SPARRO always has young, beautiful retrievers available for adoption which you can see on our Adoption page. Saving One Dog Won’t Change The World, But Surely, For That One Dog The World Will Change Forever

So Suzy Mudpuddle and her sisters are still here with not a single message or email asking about them. Suzy is such a great pup and I tell people she is a 4 year old dog in a 6 month old puppy body. She is so calm and mature. Her sisters too.

I got thinking and maybe people do not know we are foster to adopt. That means you get a 3 week trial foster period before the adoption to make sure any dog is a good fit. If for some reason things do not work, just let me know and we will hapily take the dog back and return your adoption fee during the foster period. We will take any dog back at any time in its life if something happens or life changes. We want you to be happy with your new companion, but even more we want them to be happy, even if things change in your home or life. We have had dogs returned at all ages, even 13+ years old (usually due to owners health/death)

Just putting it out there in case someone would like to give one of the girls a try but are just not sure. Message me here and I can answer any questions or concerns you might have about adopting from SPARRO

Here is a link to Suzy and the other dogs we have available as of today.
