About Parker

Parker is fresh off transport from a high-intake shelter and still getting his bearings in Newark, DE. With just 2 months under his belt, he’s a sable German Shepherd puppy who’s brand new to everything—this environment, the people, even what life looks like outside of a shelter. The team is slowly learning his personality and quirks. He’s still waiting for full vet clearance before he meets any other animals, so it’s too soon to know how he feels about other dogs, kids, or the world at large. Since Parker is so new, there’s no way to say yet if he’s house, crate, car, or leash trained. The rescue prioritizes meeting all household members and same-day adoptions if it’s a fit. Parker’s adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and more. Fun fact—because he was born on March 20, Parker is a Pisces, known for gentle and intuitive natures.
