Parker was found underneath a bush, dirty, matted and unsocialized. Parker was scared of everyone and everything. He did not know how to play, who to trust and had behavioral issues. From the beginning, we said Parker can only be placed with an experienced owner, a person who can learn his ways, a person who was willing to work with him, someone who could give Parker love he probably has never experienced in his short life. Parker is currently in a home environment with his foster dad, Karl, and he is doing great! He is still afraid of inanimate objects, like scissors, a broom or other things he may perceive as a weapon against him. Parker has overcome a lot in this last couple of months and we are happy he is doing so well! Patience, love and understanding are crucial in turning a frightened, confused, lacking confidence rescued pup into a pup who can trust again and let go the fears!..

This dog was found in Portage Park today

Probably the wost case of matted fur I have ever seen in person

He did not know how to play, who to trust and had behavior issues

He is afraid of inanimate objects, like scissors

He weight 18.9lbs with all the matted fur


We are going to groom and make nails for him

That’s incredible, might the first time seeing his nail

I guess now he become more comfortable, to see everything clear

One month later…

So lucky to rescue and open the new life for Paker

Now, he is so handsome. Thankyou for follow his journey.
