About Parker

Parker is a delightful Chihuahua and Pekingese mix with a playful spirit and a loving nature. At 6 years old and weighing 11 lbs, he has transitioned from a challenging indoor hoarding situation to eagerly embracing life as a cherished companion. Parker thrives on attention and affection, enjoying playtime with other dogs but also cherishing moments curled up on the couch or snuggled in bed. He's currently adjusting to a more typical home life, complete with potty breaks, leash walks, and plenty of cuddles. While Parker gets along well with dogs, his compatibility with cats and children has not been tested. He has some medical needs that require ongoing attention; his dental health needs monitoring due to previous neglect, but PawsCo is willing to assist with any necessary dental visits. Parker is affectionate and somewhat shy at first, but he warms up quickly to those who offer him love and patience. A gentle approach will help him build trust further. This sweet, smart little guy is ready for his forever home and would thrive with an adopter who continues his training and socialization.
