Parker

My story

In just two short years, Parker has known nothing but abandonment and heartbreak. He deserved love, stability, and a family, but instead he’s been handed one disappointment after another. We rescued Parker in January 2025 after he sat in a rural shelter for over a year waiting for someone to pick him. Sadly, shortly after arriving, we lost his foster and couldn't find anyone willing to take him in, despite our endless pleas for help. Unfortunately, for the last seven months, Parker has been living in a crate at our trainers barn because we haven’t had a single foster or adopter come forward for him. It devastates us. Parker is not unwanted because he’s a “bad dog.” He just hasn’t been given a real chance. Being a foster-based rescue means that without a foster or adopter, we’re out of options and after already spending nearly 20K on boarding and training costs, we cannot afford to do this much longer...and Parker deserves so much more than this. Parker is a 2.5-year-old, 60 lb. pit bull/cattle dog/Great Pyrenees mix who’s goofy, loyal, and full of love. He is treat-motivated and eager to learn, forming strong bonds quickly and always wanting to be by your side. Parker loves walks, adventures, and playtime — especially when toys or zoomies are involved! He’s got plenty of energy and enthusiasm for life, but also enjoys just hanging out with his favorite people. He has made tremendous progress after completing a three month long training program, but he still needs a confident, committed handler who understands him. His ideal home would be with teens and up, with no young kids. He'd be fine with another dog, but it must be the right one. Parker would likely not be suitable for a home with cats. This boy deserves a chance — he’s worked so hard and come so far. We’re begging for a miracle. If you can open your heart and home to Parker, even temporarily, please reach out — his life depends on it. His adoption fee is WAIVED thanks to a generous donor and Parker is vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped, and neutered. • Adoption application: https://form.jotform.com/200883908893166 • Foster application: https://form.jotform.com/200857847444161
