Parker Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure His Ride to Wisconsin
Parker is currently in an Arkansas kill shelter and needs a foster or adopter to help get him out
and secure his spot on an upcoming transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue.
Meet Parker
Parker is a 6–7-month-old hound/shepherd mix who was heartbreakingly dumped at a state
park by his previous owner. He was found by a passerby driving through the park, and through
no fault of his own, ended up in the shelter system.
Despite his rough start, Parker is an incredibly sweet, friendly boy. He loves people, does well
with other dogs, and has the goofy, playful personality you expect from a young puppy. He is
curious, affectionate, and eager to engage with the world around him.
Because Parker has not yet had the chance to be in a foster home, he is still learning the
basics. He is not yet crate trained or potty trained and is working on leash manners. With a
foster or adopter willing to provide patience, structure, and guidance, Parker has all the potential
to become an amazing companion.
Parker would thrive in a home ready to help a young dog learn what it means to be safe, loved,
and part of a family.
Age: 6–7 months
Gender: Male

Breed: Hound / Shepherd mix

Parker is a sweet baby who did nothing wrong and deserves the chance to leave the shelter
behind and start fresh.

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.
2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.
3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.
4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $150 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
