Adopt-A-Dog, based in Greenwich, CT with a shelter in Armonk, NY, describes itself as a "service dedicated to finding good, permanent homes for the many wonderful dogs that are waiting, either in shelters or private homes, to be adopted." That may be so, but for Sparky they were her Guardian Angels. I dread thinking about Sparky's fate if it weren't for the kind-hearted, hard-working people at Adopt-A-Dog. Adopt-A-Dog has many wonderful dogs, and cats, just waiting to share their love with you.

The Humane Socity of Greater Miami Pet Rescue is dedicated to placing every dog and cat in their care into a loving home and to promoting resposible pet ownership and spay/neuter programs.

As a not-for-profit organization since 1995, Animal Care & Control has been responsible for New York City's municipal shelter system, rescuing, caring for, and finding loving homes for homeless and abandoned animals in New York City.  Sparky was one of those abandoned animals, and she was rescued from Animal Care & Control’s East Harlem shelter in 1999 by Adopt-A-Dog.

Based in San Francisco, Pets Unlimited is a non-profit community services organization dedicated to ensuring the humane care and treatment of companion animals. Their vision is for every cat and dog to live a healthy and happy life in a loving home.

This is where you can learn all about Pilar Newton, the amazing illustrator who has brought Sparky to life in the pages of every Sparky adventure. Although she has a great Web site, the one thing no Web site can capture is this girl's zest for life. She has more energy than Con Ed.
