New Jersey Aid for Animals (NJAFA) board member Kelly Matthews submitted the following to Patch regarding a dog in need of a home:
Sparkie is a very nice, 7-month-old bull terrier and pit bull terrier mix. He is fun and friendly, a real sweetheart.
Sparkie is also deaf. Deaf dogs can make wonderful companions. They are as smart and affectionate and loyal as hearing dogs, they just need to be trained in a different way.
