My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Parker is a 11 month old Pocket Bully Breed Mix. Not much is known about Parker’s history as he was abandoned on the side of our building when his former guardian had abruptly walked into our center wanting to surrender him due to a no-pet policy in his building. When we had requested that the former guardian hold onto Parker until we had a kennel available, he walked out of our building, tied parker to the gas meter and drove off. Parker is a young dog who will require an experienced adopter who is familiar with the level of training and exercise his breed requires. Being a Pocket Bully Mix Parker is quite stocky and muscular. Parker will need someone who is willing to be patient with training and acclimating him to a daily routine. Parker enjoys walks and playing with human companions. Parker would do best in a home with no other pets as he has shown prey drive toward smaller animals. Parker may do well with larger dogs, depending on the situation. Otherwise, Parker loves attention from people and is a absolute cuddle bug. If you are interested in meeting Parker please submit an application on the link below.
