'HELLO, I'VE BEEN HERE FOR FIVE MINUTES; ISN'T SOMEBODY GOING TO TAKE ME HOME?'- Sparky is a 3-year-old female longhair white-and-gray Persian who wants to know "How soon will you get here?" Ask about the availability of Sparky, whose identification number is A3858008, by calling (818) 991-0071 first or checking animalcare.lacounty.gov/, because she may have been already adopted. "Unless," she says, "you're lucky."
