Secaucus, NJ - When asked about her thoughts on why an afternoon in September felt like the middle of July, Sparkles, a terrier mix, declined to comment - presumably because she was a dog.

Were it not for the work of the town shelter, Sparkles, along with her some of her siblings, may not have been able to find a home.
