Here's what the humans have to say about me:
WHY IS PARKER STILL HERE?
No really. Someone explain this to me.
Parker came out of the shelter nine months ago skin-and-bones, shaking, unsure if the world was done being cruel to him. Every rib showing. Spirit bruised. A dog who had clearly been someone’s responsibility once—and then wasn’t.
And yet.
Nine months later, Parker is thriving. Just under 60 pounds of healthy, athletic, ridiculously handsome brindle goodness. Apricot-and-gold coat. White chest. White-speckled legs. And photographic evidence suggests he has outstanding headgear confidence. When it comes to accessories (especially antlers!), this boy’s got game!
Parker is about two years old and checks every single box people say they’re looking for:
🏠 House-trained
😴 Quietly sleeps through the night in his crate
🐕 Great with other dogs
🐕🦺Leash trained
🤐Well-mannered and genuinely easy to live with
He is not chaotic.
He is not destructive.
He is not a “project dog.”
He is just… here. Still waiting.
That’s the part that hurts.
Because Parker doesn’t demand attention. He doesn’t fall apart. He doesn’t scream his story. He just shows up every day as a good boy who asks for very little—food, love, consistency—and somehow keeps getting passed over.
Here’s what he does need: a home with a secure, fenced yard where he can safely stretch those long legs, and an adopter with a solid veterinary history—someone who understands that good dogs stay good when they’re cared for.
Parker’s been safe in foster for nine months. He’s healed. He’s ready. What he hasn’t gotten yet is the one thing that actually matters: permanence.
❤️Parker is available for adoption through ARLO Rescue
✨ Ask about our January adoption specials!
Includes neuter, vaccines, microchip, deworming, heartworm test & prevention, flea/tick treatment.

If you’ve ever said, “I just want a good dog,” 🐕 congrats. You found him.
Now please explain to me why he’s still here.
