Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Parker is a lovely English Setter, Golden Retriever mix. We think he is approximately 6 years old. He currently weighs 40 pounds.
Parker was found by a Good Samaritan running down North Parkway, dragging a cable behind him. He willingly jumped in the Good Samaritan's truck and laid quietly until they reached their destination.
Parker has had a hard life. He has obviously had his front leg broken in the past. It has healed somewhat but he has a limp and a bit of a splay in his leg.
Parker has a docile personality - he loves affection and is well-mannered in the house. He also loves walks. His ideal home will have a fenced yard and another dog companion. He does not do well with cats. Please give this great dog a chance at the happy life he has yet to find!
AN ADOPTION FEE OF $150 IS REQUIRED FOR PARKER.If you are interested in adopting, have a look at our adoption website, read the online adoption agreement, complete the online adoption application, and submit it. If you are unable to adopt at this time, you may sponsor the care of this pet.
The ideal home for this Real Good Dog will have a secure fenced yard. A solid history of excellent vet care for current or previous pets is required. Preference will be given to applicants who have specific breed experience.
Please visit www.realgoodrescue.com to submit an electronic application if you are interested in adopting this or any other Real Good Dog.
We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
