About Parker

German Shepherd / Golden Retriever
Age: Puppy
Sex: Male

Courtesy post for Tasca's Love rescue...she is looking for rescue transfer or committed experienced adopter as recent health changes are making it impossible to continue caring for Parker :( 'We are looking for an Experienced German Shepherd Foster or Adopter - (Experience will be verified through vet reference check for pervious ownership of the breed - No Exceptions) Parker was barely 6 weeks old (7lbs) when found abandoned at a truck stop in Texas. He was adopted from Tasca's Love by his foster family at 10 weeks old in July 2021 and is now back with the rescue needing to find a new home. Moms and littermates teach puppies proper dog behavior and Parker missed out on those valuable lessons. Parker has been through a training program (twice - during his adoption and upon his return to rescue) and both evaluations of Parker describe him as a very smart dog, having bold puppy behavior and needing patient, consistent and firm handling. Our training partner goes on to describe him as a very good dog needing a specific skill set in his adoptive family - working breed experience. Parker is doing very well at raining and has been handled in various settings by multiple volunteers to ensure he's given the opportunity to experience real life situations and making the right choices dealing with them (stressors included). Parker has also learned that mouthiness doesn't produce rewards and can refocus himself to make the right decision when gently reminded. Parker is very smart, focused, engaged and driven. While he still has some reactivity, he easily breaks away his gaze in anticipation of the handler's reward (food/praise). Parker is also being reinforced for general obedience through our training partner. Parker is very dog friendly and gets along with dogs of all sizes and temperament. Parker will need a foster or an adopter that will commit to attending his follow up training lessons in the Silver Spring/Burtonsville area to ensure his solid foundation is further refined. He will need an active foster/adopter as he thrives on performing a job, as is customary to his breed. He will be the perfect exercise partner for an active foster/adopter. While Parker is still a puppy (10 months old) he is a very large one at almost 70lbs and not done growing. Parker is just a puppy who deserves a committed furever family to help him learn and succeed! If you believe you have the needed experience to continue patiently working with him, gently teaching him and helping him be the best adult dog he can be, then please do reach out to us for a foster or adoption application [email protected]
