Parker is a four-year-old Chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into his eight-pound frame. He’s endearing from the start—devoted to people, playful with his toys, and always up for a game of fetch. Parker is particularly social with humans and does well with most dogs, though he prefers female dogs or submissive older males, since he doesn’t get along much with other alpha males. Toy and food guarding can pop up, but he responds quickly to corrections and genuinely wants to please. You’ll notice Parker seldom barks and doesn’t struggle with separation anxiety, which makes for a relaxed companion. His coat feels as soft as a rabbit, and there’s a sweet, muffin-like gentleness in his demeanor. Parker is housebroken and leash trained—he did mark quite a bit at first in the shelter, but this has faded after his neuter. Meeting Parker tends to make a lasting impression and it’s easy to see why he wins hearts. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
