About Parker

Shelter Staff Notes: My name is Parker. I am a male, brown German Shepherd Dog mix. Age: The shelter staff think I am about 11 months old. More Info: I have been at the shelter since May 15, 2023. In nearly every one of the many pics I took of Parker he seemed absolutely delighted to be running and playing in the shelter yard. Parker is a mixed breed youngster (Dog Scanner app suggests Carolina Dog, Canaan Dog and Norwegian Buhund in the mix) that was brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter as a stray on 5/15. Parker weighs 42 pounds, is approx 10 months old and is neutered. This joyous friendly boy has lots of puppy energy and exuberance. He does jump on you quite a bit so that would need to be addressed early on. He knows the sit command and will so for treats. He does not always take them gently but that is also another thing his new people could work on with him. He may be house trained as he pottied in the yard. He ran and played, and was quite adept at fetching. Parker is athletic in that he climbed on the play equipment in search of treats I had placed at the top. He has no issues with being timid, fearful or nervous. Parker also walked very nicely on a leash. He was happy for me to pet and love on him. He will need an active person or family to adopt him who would give him the daily exercise, playtime and enrichment he needs as a puppy.
