About Parri

Parri is a year-old male Retriever/Lab mix with a quiet, watchful spirit. He takes his time to get comfortable, preferring to observe new situations before easing in. Once he feels secure, Parri becomes more affectionate—following you through the house and quietly asking for attention in his own gentle way. He enjoys walks and exploring new places side by side, and he draws comfort from steady routines. This large, low-to-moderate energy dog gets along with other dogs and tends to do well with cats. Parri would do best in a home with a confident resident dog to mentor him. He's house and crate trained, and his gentle personality makes him a fit for families with kind older children.
