Parker

Parker is the perfect snuggle buddy! Found as a stray in Utah, Parker was severely emaciated and in poor condition. He's estimated to be around 5 years old and is likely a lab or lab mix. Despite his rough start, Parker loves to snuggle and sleeps soundly all night at the end of the bed. He gets anxious when separated from his people, so a home where he can sleep freely with his person or in the same room would be ideal for him. Although the Utah shelter reported that Parker showed no signs of being house trained, he has not had a single accident while in foster care. He's been left alone in the house for up to 3 hours without any problems. Due to his past starvation, Parker can be food aggressive and is best fed away from other dogs. He may snatch food or treats, but with patience and gentle correction, he can be redirected. Parker gets along well with other dogs and is good with kids, except when it comes to food. He does have a high prey drive, especially towards squirrels, so a home without cats would be best. Some leash training will be necessary, but he responds well to redirection and commands. If you're interested in giving Parker a loving home, please message PAWS Rescue Inc. for an adoption application. His adoption fee is $300, which includes vaccines, neutering, deworming, and a microchip.
