Pet Of The Week

This is Parker, and he’d love to jump into your world! He’s 3 years old and weighs 54 lbs. He can be a little shy at first, but when he opens up, he's pretty goofy. Loves to play with other dogs and can’t wait for pool season. Somebody adopt this adorable goofball before one of the staff does!

Can’t help but share another photo, cuz get a load of this judgemental side-eye. Probably how he’ll look at you when you tell him it’s not time for a walk. 👀
