About

Meet Parker

Parker is a spunky, energetic and playful boy. He is incredibly smart and very fast. We think he is about 4.5 years old. Parker came to us from a shelter which was unable to provide any information about the first year of his life. Parker loves to be outside. He enjoys chasing a ball and also taking naps in the sun. He is crate and leash trained. Parker has enormous energy and requires daily exercise to channel his energy.  Parker doesn’t do well with children because of their high level of activity and noise.  He does have a very high prey drive, like a lot of shepherds.  Parker likes quiet, order and routine so an adult-only home is a must for him. Parker lived in a home with a cat for two years and though the two were not friendly, they lived together peacefully. Parker would prefer to be the king of his castle and an only dog.  He has interacted with many other dogs without incident.  However, he can become  uncomfortable meeting new dogs or people while on leash or otherwise restrained (in crate, behind gate, etc).  Parker will do best where he has space to enjoy outdoors and plenty of attention from his people. A secure fenced in yard is a must.  Parker needs an experienced handler to help guide him.  Parker would love a family of his own so he can give them love and loyalty.   Parker’s rabies vaccine is good through March 2025. He has had regular veterinary care and is neutered and microchipped.  If you are an experienced German shepherd home that wants a loyal and loving companion to share your life with, please contact [email protected] for more information.  THIS IS A COURTESY POST.
