About Parker

Parker was adopted as a puppy and is now three years old. He faced an upheaval after his dad’s unexpected passing and his mom is unable to keep up with his needs due to his size—he’s a sturdy 70 pounds. Lately, Parker spends too much time indoors, but he thrives on activity and would love an owner who enjoys running, hiking, or just throwing a ball. Parker’s an outgoing, social Alaskan Malamute mix, friendly with other dogs and happiest when he’s busy. His thick coat with black forehead spots fits right in with his northern breed roots. He’s neutered but due for vaccinations, and just needs someone ready to make him part of their pack. There’s no adoption fee for Parker. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
