Parker is a quiet, gentle, and easygoing boy who prefers to savor life's moments. He has a soft presence and a calm nature, bringing a sense of peace to any home. Parker is estimated to be around 2 years old and weighs 21 lbs. While his breed is a guess, he appears to be a Portuguese Podengo.
Ideal Home
Parker truly shines in a home with other dogs. He's currently thriving in a foster environment with multiple dogs, where he politely greets his canine companions and then goes about his own business. He enjoys being part of the pack and would do best with confident, friendly dogs who can help him take his cues. He doesn't need to be the center of attention, just part of the group. Parker could do well in a house with a yard, but an apartment in a calmer, lower-traffic environment would also be suitable, especially during his adjustment period.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Parker is house-trained and sleeps through the night. He can be shy with new people and takes affection slowly, not out of resistance, but because it's unfamiliar. He allows handling without issue and shows no signs of aggression, just a gentle hesitation with new touch. He will benefit from a patient and understanding home that gives him space to decompress and adjust at his own pace. On leash, Parker is still building confidence, as new environments can feel overwhelming, but he handles walks without fuss. Gentle guidance and continued exposure will help him improve.
