About Parker

Meet Parker! At 7 years old and just 7 pounds, Parker is a tiny Yorkshire Terrier with a big personality.

Parker is a natural at making friends—her enthusiasm is contagious, and she loves attention from everyone. She thrives on affection and loves being part of daily life. While she gets along well with other dogs and even shares space with cats, her favorite spot is right by your side. She would flourish in a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand how to interact gently with small dogs. Despite her spirited nature, Parker's petite size makes her susceptible to injury from rough handling. One fun fact about Parker is her belief that all food should be shared with her, so her future family will need to resist those pleading eyes during mealtime. At night, she prefers snuggling under the covers, although she is also crate trained if needed. She knows her way around house manners and doesn’t necessarily require confinement to feel secure. Parker enjoys car rides, leash walks, and exploring the yard. She still has plenty of energy and loves to dash through the grass when the chance arises. Due to her size, she will need a secure environment for outdoor play. While she may not relish grooming sessions, it’s essential to keep her coat healthy. Parker is looking for a family that will appreciate her amusing quirks and shower her with love—not food scraps! If you’re in search of a loyal companion who enjoys life’s simple pleasures, Parker might be the perfect fit for you. Parker is: - Current on Bordetella, Distemper, and Rabies - Dewormed - Heartworm Tested: Negative - Receiving Heartworm and Flea Prevention - Microchipped - Spayed Ready to find the family that will love her forever!
