Why isn’t Parker adopted?

The short answer – we have absolutely no idea.

This dog should have been adopted ages ago. Out of all our foster dogs, he’s one of the most well-adjusted, fun-loving dogs.

For anyone considering adopting Parker, here are some things you should know about him:

• He sleeps all night in a crate. Not a peep out of him (unless you count his snoring.) He waits until we’re up in the morning to get up, so no early morning crying or barking to be let out of the crate
• He’s not too big – about 50 pounds. I can lift him into our SUV if needed
• He’s got this adorable floppy ear. One stands up, the other flops over.
• He’s completely food-motivated, which makes him really easy to train. He already knows:
  • Sit
  • Down
  • High five
  • Leave it – he won’t eat his dinner until given a cue to do so
  • Spin
  • His name – he’ll come every time he’s called



• He’s learned what he can chew and what he can’t. He’s got some nylabones that are his favourites
• He’s amazing at the offleash park – he checks in, plays really well with other dogs, and comes when called
• He gets along really well with dogs, cats, and children
• When we’re at work, he says in his crate
• No accidents in the house!
• He loves snuggles and cuddles
• He’s still got lots of puppy left in him, so he’s happy to play for hours if you want, but is equally content to lie at your feet

If you’ve been looking at Parker and thinking of applying to adopt him, I’d strongly encourage you to do so! We love this guy, and know he’d be a great dog for someone. Apply for Parker here.
